VISN-22 Laboratory Staffing Services 2017-2022

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 established this Master IDIQ for laboratory staffing services on July 1, 2017, with a shared ceiling of $27 million and ordering authority through June 30, 2019. Ordering closed over seven years ago; this vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders. The VISN-22 network spans eight VA medical centers and healthcare systems across California, Arizona, and New Mexico, requiring phlebotomists, medical technicians, medical technologists, histology technicians and technologists, and cytotechnologists.

All $58.2 million in combined potential value across 126 task orders has been obligated. Ansible Government Solutions LLC dominates the vehicle, holding 97 of the 126 awards (77% of task orders) and $55.3 million of the $58.2 million combined potential value—95% concentration by dollars. Global Dynamics LLC received 25 orders worth $2.4 million; Officium Global LLC and DAX Safety & Staffing Solutions each hold two small orders. Ordering activity peaked in 2020 with 25 task orders, declining to nine orders in the final year (2023). The most recent task order award was January 1, 2023.

The vehicle is unrestricted in set-aside structure across its awardee base, though the task-order mix reflects selective use of service-disabled veteran-owned small business designations: 120 orders (95%) were unrestricted competitive, five orders (4%) were SDVOSB set-aside competitive, and one order (1%) was SDVOSB sole-source. Task orders are firm fixed price and typically range from roughly $18,000 to $2.1 million, with most orders between $50,000 and $900,000. Individual orders show short durations, generally under 12 months, with completion dates clustered around mid-year and year-end. The single largest order was $3.3 million (VA26217D0141-36C26221N0729, awarded July 2021). Place of performance was distributed across the eight VISN-22 facilities in the Southwest region, with multiple orders funding the same locations concurrently.
