Blanket Purchase Agreement 36C24220A0016

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 (VA VHA VISN 2) awarded a blanket purchase agreement to Loyal Source Government Services LLC with a potential value of $18 million to provide frontline healthcare workers in support of COVID-19 response efforts. Two firm fixed price calls against the agreement have been issued to date for a total of $8 million. The first call, valued at $3.8 million, is for the provision of frontline healthcare workers in Flushing, New York from November 2020 through September 2021. The second call, valued at $5 million, is for the placement of nursing staff at VA medical centers in New York, New York from April 2020 through September 2021. Both calls aim to temporarily expand the VA's healthcare workforce capacity during the ongoing public health emergency through the deployment of clinical staff. No set aside designations or subcontractors were identified for either call placed against this agreement.

The blanket purchase agreement and associated calls allow the VA VHA VISN 2 to rapidly acquire critical clinical personnel in response to COVID-19 through an existing contracting vehicle with Loyal Source Government Services LLC. By leveraging blanket purchasing agreements already in place, the VA is able to quickly fulfill its needs for frontline healthcare workers and nurses during the pandemic at its New York facilities. This enables the VA to bolster its ability to deliver essential medical services to veterans in need.
