About this IDV

The VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick awarded a multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract to Blue Water Thinking LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, on January 11, 2024, under the Integrated Critical Staffing Program (ICSP) with a $23 billion contract ceiling. This SDVOSB set-aside vehicle enables the Department of Veterans Affairs to rapidly deploy specialized healthcare staffing across its national facility network through task orders issued by individual Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs) and VA component offices.

Performance occurs nationwide at VA healthcare facilities and administrative sites. The ICSP originated from a solicitation posted August 1, 2023, closing September 7, 2023, and is structured to fill temporary staffing needs including physician specialties (oncology, neurology, urology, diagnostic radiology, general practice), phlebotomy, biomedical equipment support, medical technology and histotechnology laboratory services, food service workers, and onboarding support.

The contract extends through January 10, 2034. Blue Water Thinking has received numerous delivery orders under this IDIQ since award, including phlebotomy services in Columbia, South Carolina (firm fixed-price, $3.7 million, through June 30, 2030); urology services in Clarksburg, West Virginia ($6.3 million, through September 30, 2026); neurology physician services in Johnson City, Tennessee ($1.66 million, through October 31, 2026); medical technology and histotechnology laboratory staffing in White River Junction, Vermont ($554 thousand, through November 16, 2026); and oncology physician staffing in Snyder, New York ($2.32 million, through October 31, 2026). Additional orders include biomedical equipment support in Aurora, Colorado, phlebotomy services in Augusta, Maine, food service workers in Bay Pines, Florida, diagnostic radiology services in Orlando, Florida, medical supply technician support in Palo Alto, California, and onboarding support labor at Edgewater, Maryland. Most orders carry the SDVOSB set-aside; some are awarded without set-aside designation.
