Basic Ordering Agreement 36C24520G0037

The Basic Ordering Agreement was awarded on September 1, 2020 by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 to A Better Alternative Nursing Agency, Inc. for the provision of home health aid services. The single award IDV has a potential value of $582,610 and expires on August 31, 2021.

Under the terms of the BOA, A Better Alternative Nursing Agency, Inc. will provide home health aid services to support Veterans within VISN 5. Home health aides perform non-medical tasks such as meal preparation, light housekeeping, assisting with activities of daily living, and companionship for Veterans receiving long-term services and support in their homes and communities. As the sole awardee, A Better Alternative Nursing Agency, Inc. is obligated to fulfill orders for these services issued against the IDV by VHA facilities within the network until the expiration date.

The award aims to procure home health aid services through task orders issued under the BOA to help Veterans receive long-term care in a home or community-based setting. As the network responsible for coordinating and delivering healthcare among VA medical centers in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia, VISN 5 likely awarded the BOA to ensure access to these supportive services that allow more Veterans to receive needed long-term care while remaining in their homes.
