1. TITLE OF CONTRACT: Veterans Health Administration Mobile Folding Rapid Deploy Shelter.
2. SCOPE OF WORK: Veterans Health Administration (VHA) / Office of Emergency Management (OEM) currently has a requirement to procure expandable self-contained standalone mobile folding shelters that will serve the Veteran and civilian populations as medical clinics providing additional storage capabilities for medical consumables as well as waiting room space. The shelters would be used to create an efficient clinic system, a model of traditional primary care. These shelters must be interconnectable to preexisting VHA OEM shelter resources. Parts must be interchangeable, as well as the ability to utilize the mobility transport shelter trailers to create redundancy and efficiency during emergency operations.
3. BACKGROUND: Since December 2018, the VHA Office of Emergency Management has purchased twenty (20) Mobile Deployable Fold Out Medical Shelters. These units were purchased to deploy, allowing access to care for Veterans and civilians when brick-and- mortar facilities were not readily available. These units have deployed to exercises, and proof of concepts has been completed. While these units are still viable, additional square footage is required. It has been determined that there was not enough temperature- controlled storage space for the consumable medical resupply nor space to be utilized as a patient waiting area. The temporary rigid shelter must be self-contained for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), be completely transportable without the use of Material Handling Equipment (MHE), and be set up in less than 60 minutes with three personnel, thus providing fast response rate which is extremely durable and energy efficient.
Additionally, these shelters must have interconnectable to preexisting VHA OEM resources. These units would be positioned at strategic locations, which would allow the units to be deployed in a rapid response to an incident/event.
4. OBJECTIVES: The contractor shall perform the mandatory tasks and provide specific deliverables described below within the performance period stated in this Statement of Need (SON)
4.1 Provide folding rapid deploy shelter - The contractor will provide four (4) folding rapidly deploy shelters containing a minimum of 250 ft2 each. There will no interior walls and the space will be open. Each shelter shall have one (2) exterior entry/exit doorway and one (2) window.

The folding rapid deploy shelter, once expanded, will consist of connections that will allow the interconnecting ability to preexisting VHA OEM resources.
4.4 Leveling of shelter - Must have a mechanism in place to allow it to be leveled on surfaces that consist of the hard stand (blacktop, concrete) as well as grass, dirt, and gravel areas. The folding rapid deploy shelter should be constructed so that a maximum of three (3) unskilled laborers can deploy/redeploy within 60 minutes
4.5 Shelter Entry Ways - Will have one (2) exterior doors total. The door into the structure will be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. All door thresholds should be designed to allow a wheelchair to maneuver without difficulty.
