The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Go Time Travel And Tours LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), to provide "HOPTEL SERVICES" - temporary lodging accommodations and related travel logistics support - for veterans and VA medical staff at the Memphis VA Medical Center. The base IDC, valued at up to $453,900, was awarded on July 1, 2020 and has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2024. Under this IDC, the VA has issued multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders to Go Time Travel And Tours LLC totaling over $229,000 to date, facilitating ongoing provision of hotel rooms, transportation, and other travel services to enable continuity of care for patients and operational support at the Memphis VAMC. This flexible contracting approach allows the VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 to efficiently procure vital hospitality services on an as-needed basis to meet the lodging requirements of its medical facilities.
The original solicitation, issued as a combined synopsis/solicitation in May 2020, sought quotes from SDVOSB firms to provide commercial hotel and travel services to support VA operations nationwide. The set-aside contracting strategy aligns with the VA's procurement goals for increasing awards to eligible veteran-owned small businesses. Over the 5-year base period, the awarded IDC and associated task orders will enable the VA to ensure access to temporary lodging and travel assistance for veterans receiving treatment at the Memphis VAMC and other facilities within the region.
