U--Association for Linen Management membership

The Department of Veterans Affairs Central Office intends to negotiate a contract with the American Hospital Association for the renewal of its institutional memberships and memberships-by-title for VA facilities. This contract includes a base year with the option for four additional one-year renewals, ensuring continued participation in the AHA and the relevant Personnel Membership Group. The solicitation is not a request for competitive proposals but rather a notice of intent to negotiate directly with AHA, allowing the government discretion to decide whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on feedback received. The contract, identified by solicitation number VA10115Q0110 and issued on June 3, 2015, pertains to membership services under the NAICS code 611710. The purpose is to maintain valuable membership benefits that support VA facilities' operations and engagement within the hospital association community. Interested parties are directed to submit information or inquiries to the designated contact at the VA, although this notice itself does not constitute a solicitation for competitive bids.
