This is an Award Notice for a sole-sourced lease for a Huntsville Specialty Care Clinic by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The award was made to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) for a 12-year lease of approximately 8,160 ABOA/9,180 RSF located at the Huntsville Regional Medical Center. The total award amount is $1,446,020.00, with the award date set for 03-14-2025, and the lease is intended to commence on or before 10/1/2024.

The lease was procured under the PACT Act (Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022), which allows VA to acquire space for healthcare resources without full and open competition. The clinics will provide specialized medical services including Cardiology, Dermatology, Rheumatology, Neurology, Orthopedics, Urology, Neurosurgery, and Ortho-Spine Clinics, along with lab point-of-care testing. The VA determined that this non-competitive lease with an academic affiliate is in the government's best interest, particularly to reduce community care costs and rapidly expand veterans' healthcare services in the Huntsville market.
