R710--Third Party Billing Bridge Contract

The Department of Veterans Affairs awarded a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract valued at $3,160,200 to Receivia Inc., a certified Women-Owned Small Business, under the NAICS code 524292 for third-party billing services in support of the Veterans Health Administration’s Revenue Operations. The contract, identified as 36C77626P0034, was justified under 41 U.S.C. §3304(a)(1) due to the contractor’s unique and irreplaceable capability to provide uninterrupted processing of outpatient claims to third-party insurers across seven Consolidated Patient Account Centers nationwide. Receivia Inc. demonstrated proven performance, existing security clearances, and immediate system access critical to maintaining revenue cycle integrity without operational disruption. The base performance period runs from May 1, 2026, to July 31, 2026, with an optional two-month extension through September 30, 2026, exercisable at the government’s discretion. The work involves electronic submission of medical claims for reimbursement, supporting the Medical Care Collection Fund, and is administered by the Program Contracting Activity Central office in Independence, Ohio. The contracting officer, Lisa Strawbridge, serves as the primary point of contact, while no formal Contracting Officer’s Representative is identified. No standard FAR clauses, packaging requirements, delivery terms, or detailed inspection criteria are documented, reflecting the service-based, non-competitive nature of this action. The award was made under a WOSB set-aside, with the contractor’s Unique Entity ID listed as JMHPHJZLKJQ7, and the solicitation was issued via oral/email with a capability statement accepted in lieu of a full proposal under a streamlined sole-source process.
