About this vehicle
The Department of Veterans Affairs Headquarters established a Master IDIQ for VA Medical Disability Examinations on April 1, 2016, with ordering authority through September 30, 2028—approximately two years and two months remaining. The vehicle carries a combined potential value of $53.03 billion across 39 awarded task orders, with $2.89 billion obligated to date (5% of potential value). All task orders are unrestricted; no set-aside designations apply.
Order velocity has declined sharply. The vehicle averaged roughly two orders per year from 2020 through 2022, then dropped to one order annually in 2023 and 2024. The most recent task order award was in October 2024. This sustained slowdown suggests the vehicle may be winding down or transitioning to successor arrangements.
The work is medical disability examination services for veterans under section 504 of the Veterans Benefits Improvements Act (Public Law 104-275). Task orders specify geographic regions and identify particular VA regional offices (such as Atlanta, Columbia, Jackson, Philadelphia, Roanoke, St. Petersburg, Houston, Muskogee, Providence, Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Winston-Salem), with some orders designated for District 6 (National Mission) or OCONUS operations. Medical professionals are located, subcontracted, and trained to perform the examinations.
Competition is heavily concentrated. Optumserve Health Services, Inc. holds the largest share by potential value at $24.63 billion across nine orders, followed by A Medical Corporation Medical Support LOS Angeles ($16.01 billion, five orders) and Vetfed Resources, Inc. ($8.08 billion, four orders). These three firms control roughly 97% of combined potential value. QTC Medical Services Inc. (13 orders, $2.84 billion) and Veterans Evaluation Services, Inc. (eight orders, $1.48 billion) hold the remaining minority position. Five primes total compete under the vehicle.
Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick placed 30 of 39 task orders, representing $52.84 billion of the $53.03 billion combined potential value. The remaining customer agencies (VA Headquarters and VA Veteran Benefits Administration) account for less than 2% of activity combined.
Recent obligated task orders range from roughly $86 million (FY25, October 2024) to $212.6 million (FY24, October 2023), with firm fixed-price pricing. The vehicle's vast potential value relative to actual obligation and declining award frequency suggest substantial unobligated ceiling headroom exists, but active procuring activity has diminished substantially in the last two years.
