DESCRIPTION

Instructions:

This Sources Sought is issued solely for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation. All information received in response to this notice is marked as proprietary and will be handled accordingly. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Responders are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this notice. This notice is being issued in an attempt to determine the level of interest among all socioeconomic groups. Responses will assist VA planners in determining an appropriate acquisition and set-aside strategy which best fits VA requirements.

This action is to perform market research to determine if there is a sufficient number of qualified (1) Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business; (2) Veteran Owned Small Business; (3) Small or emerging small business firms; or (4) large business firms to set aside one 5-year contract.

Purpose: The purpose is to provide transportation for Veterans to and from work and related vocational appointments for up to 4 consecutive weeks per episode of care as requested by the Coatesville VAMC (CVAMC) Compensated Work Therapy (CWT) program staff. Transportation for the Veterans would be performed primarily in Chester, Montgomery, Delaware, and Lancaster Counties in Pennsylvania, with the possibility of the states of Delaware and New Jersey. The contractor shall provide all vehicles, personnel, management, supplies, equipment, and necessary reporting for transportation of Veterans to and from work and related vocational appointments as needed for up to 4 consecutive weeks per episode of care, 24 hours a day, seven days a week (24/7), including weekends and holidays.

Background: CVAMC CWT program has the largest Transitional Work (TW) program in VHA serving Veterans through partnerships with private businesses in our local community. Statistics show that greater than 70% of Veterans referred to VHA/Vocation Rehabilitation (Voc. Rehab) programs have transportation barriers to employment and training/education and new program opportunities can only be developed along public transportation lines which are limited in our suburban counties.

CWT program staff have provided transportation to jobs/assignments/interviews and other vocational functions as they are able, but it is an inefficient use of staff and insufficient to meet demand. Rideshare provides a safe alternative increasing staff efficiency and providing safe transportation for our Veterans so that their essential vocational needs can still be met.
