HUD-VASH Housing Placement and Case Management

This Master IDIQ is closed to new orders and not worth pursuing. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 established this vehicle on December 7, 2016, with a last date to order of September 30, 2021—more than four years in the past. Ordering is no longer open, and the $13.458 million shared ceiling has been fully obligated.

The vehicle contracted housing placement and case management services for homeless Veterans eligible under the HUD-VASH program in the Los Angeles area, including Los Angeles County. Services paired HUD Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers with ongoing VA case management for Veterans with co-morbid conditions including serious mental illnesses, substance abuse disorders, and other serious medical conditions. All 24 task orders awarded under the vehicle were firm fixed price, with no set-asides used.

Over the vehicle's five-year ordering window, activity declined from eight orders in 2017 to three orders in 2021. The 24 task orders issued totaled $70.3 million in potential value, with $70.4 million obligated by the end of the ordering period—exceeding the ceiling. Individual task-order values ranged from approximately $867,000 to $5.7 million, typically covering 12-month periods with completion dates clustered around September 30 of each contract year.

Four prime contractors each received six orders. Volunteers of America of Los Angeles led by combined potential value at $25.7 million, followed by Path at $24.7 million, Lopez Carlos L at $13.1 million, and Step Up On Second Street, Inc. at $6.9 million. All ordering came from the single customer, Veterans Integrated Service Network 22. The vehicle demonstrates no active procurement opportunity for new entrants.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking a contractor to assist with the provision of housing placement and case management services through the HUD-VASH program. The program is a partnership between the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and VA Supportive Housing (VASH) to place and maintain homeless Veterans in permanent, community based housing using HUD Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers that are paired with ongoing VA case management services. Many of these Veterans have co-morbid conditions that include serious mental illnesses, substance abuse disorders, and other serious medical conditions. VA intends to engage a Contractor to provide housing placement services in the Los Angeles area, to include Los Angeles County along with ongoing case management services to HUD-VASH eligible Veterans and their families.
