The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Strategic Acquisition Center in Frederick, Maryland has awarded a multiple award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) worth $169.4 million to Veterans Evaluation Services, Inc. (VES), a subsidiary of Maximus Inc. This IDC, which runs through September 2028, enables the VA to issue firm fixed price delivery orders for VES to provide medical disability examination (MDE) services to assess veterans residing outside the continental United States for eligibility for VA disability compensation and pension benefits. VES holds several other IDCs with the VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick, including an $88 million IDC for pre-discharge MDE services for active service members prior to separation, and a $250,000 IDC for out-of-network international and overseas MDE services. These contracts allow VES, as the prime contractor, to furnish comprehensive medical disability examinations globally to support the VA's compensation and pension programs by evaluating veterans' service-connected disabilities and their impact on the ability to work. The initial solicitation, issued in December 2021, sought proposals for MDE services for veterans living outside the continental U.S. under a set of examination requirements and evaluation criteria, with no set-aside designations applied.
