R699--IDIQ Modification Ceiling Increase Credentials Verification Organization for Non-CCN providers

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the Strategic Acquisition Center in Frederick, Maryland, has issued modification P00006 to IDIQ contract 36C10X22D0004 with RL Datix, Inc. (also referenced as Datix USA Inc.). This sole-source modification increases the total potential contract ceiling by $928,530.00, raising the overall value from $7,684,055.00 to $8,612,585.00. The action was authorized under simplified acquisition procedures per 41 U.S.C. 1901 and FAR 12.201-1 to address a surge in nursing home and dental practice providers by realigning unused quantities from re-credentialing to new provider credentialing. The scope of work involves providing Credentials Verification Organization services for non-CCN providers, including the implementation of a standardized credentialing process, online database access for VA staff, and ongoing provider monitoring via NPDB-CQ. Under the modified ceiling, the contractor is authorized to perform credentialing for up to 12,465 new providers and 5,465 re-credentialing actions, while providing monthly administrative support to the VA Credentialing Committee and operating a Credentialing Review Board. The IDIQ ordering period runs from January 3, 2022, to January 2, 2027, with the potential for performance to extend through January 2, 2028.
