DESCRIPTION

Please note that this is NOT a request for quotes or proposals, the Government is seeking information for market research purposes only. Network Contracting Office (NCO) 2/RPO East of the Department of Veterans Affairs is currently conducting a market survey for qualified firms capable of providing Medical Records Filing and Packing Services at the below locations:

New York Campus – 423 East 23rd Street, New York, NY 10010 Brooklyn Campus – 800 Poly Place, Brooklyn, NY 11209 St. Albans Campus – 179-00 Linden Boulevard, St. Albans, NY 11425 The result of this market research will contribute to determining the method of procurement. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement is 561990.

The VA New York Harbor Healthcare System (VA NYHHS) is dedicated to providing quality health care and security to veterans using the abilities of all employees supported by our commitment to education and research.

File room space is limited, thus each year inactive records are required to be identified, inventoried, and retired. Records are considered inactive when the patient has not had patient care activity within the last three (3) years, including Non-VA Medical Care.

These inactive records are retired to National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) approved facilities. In addition, active records (patient receiving continued care) often may need to be relocated elsewhere on the facility grounds or sent for off-site storage if file room space is to be used for a different activity. Processing of active records would be site.

Due the differing size and condition of the individual file rooms, varying levels of effort shall be required for each of the three campuses with an estimated 150,000 medical records for each. Depending on a campus's record retirement history, records may need to be shipped to National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) approved facilities. Some of the records that shall be retired or sent to off-site storage may need to have bar code labels printed and affixed.

The period of performance will be from the anticipated award date of February 26, 2024 to June 30, 2024.
