FY26-2002 JOFOC NCO17 Decatur CBOC - HCA Approved 01_Redacted.pdf

This is a Request for Sole Source Justification (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition submitted by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office (NCO17) in El Paso, Texas.

The VA intends to award a sole source contract to Primary Care Solutions, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), to continue providing Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) services at the VA North Texas Health Care System in Dallas. The contract will be a 12-month firm-fixed-price agreement with performance commencing August 1, 2026, following the expiration of the incumbent's current contract on July 31, 2026. The estimated contract value is $3,884,760.00 for approximately 3,300 veteran beneficiaries per month (39,600 total). The sole source justification is based on 41 USC §3304(a)(1)—Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements—because Primary Care Solutions, Inc. is the only source capable of providing service continuity within the required timeframe. The acquisition is considered a follow-on to the incumbent's existing contract (36C25721D0007), and a market research conducted on June 2, 2026, identified only two SDVOSB vendors with CBOC experience: Clinivators LLC and Primary Care Solutions, Inc., neither of whom operate community-based outpatient clinics. The anticipated cost is deemed fair and reasonable based on historical pricing and Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) analysis. The Director of Contracting and other approving officials have certified the justification as meeting requirements for other than full and open competition, with the anticipated award date of July 31, 2027.
