The Medical Disability Examinations Pre Discharge 2022 - 2028 Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract enables the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to obtain comprehensive medical disability examination services for separating service members participating in the Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD) and Integrated Disability Evaluation System (IDES) programs. These medical examinations are critical for evaluating veterans' service-connected disabilities, assessing functional impairment, and supporting disability compensation and pension benefits determinations. The contract allows the VA to conduct approximately 75,000 medical examinations annually across the continental United States, Hawaii, and Alaska, with examinations required to be completed within 180 days of award.

The master IDIQ has been predominantly awarded to three prime contractors: QTC Medical Services Inc. (a Leidos Holdings subsidiary), Veterans Evaluation Services Inc. (a Maximus Inc. subsidiary), and Optumserve Health Services Inc. (a UnitedHealth Group subsidiary). Task orders under this vehicle range from approximately $47 million to $276 million, with performance periods typically spanning fiscal years and terminating on September 30th of the respective year. None of the task orders have been set aside for specific business categories, indicating open competition. The task orders are consistently firm fixed-price delivery orders, with recent awards focusing on FY23 and FY24 funding. The contractors perform medical evaluations nationwide, with locations including Houston, Texas and La Crosse, Wisconsin, supporting the VA's strategic acquisition center in Frederick, Maryland in processing disability claims for separating service members.
