SPECIAL NOTICE

Industry notification on FPDS reporting update to contract ceiling for Medical Disability Examinations (MDE) 2025 Regions 1-4 Recompete (known as the Short-Term Contracts

(STC)).

VA awarded four Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts from Solicitation 36C10X25R0001 in December 2024 as follows:

1. 36C10X25D0001 - LOYAL SOURCE GOVERNMENT SERVICES LLC

2. 36C10X25D0002 - OPTUMSERVE HEALTH SERVICES INC

3. 36C10X25D0003 - QTC MEDICAL SERVICES INC

4. 36C10X25D0004 - VETERANS EVALUATION SERVICES INC

The contract ceiling established in Solicitation 36C10X25R0001 and its resulting awards was a maximum quantity of 9 million exams. The contract ceiling was not expressed in terms of a dollar value at time of solicitation or award since the contract is not priced by examination; every examination differs and contains a variety of components and combination of priced contract line items.

To date, 5.2 million exams have been completed or are in progress through these contracts, which is under the contract ceiling established at time of award.

FPDS reported the Total Contract Value for each contract as $3,294,180,138.43 at time of award; this was for reporting purposes only and did not establish or reflect an actual/intended dollar value ceiling. No dollar value or ceiling other than the maximum quantity of 9 million exams was established by the contracts.

FPDS reporting on Task Orders awarded to date has in some cases exceeded the dollar value originally reported in FPDS despite the contract ceiling of 9 million exams not being reached. Accordingly, the FPDS Total Contract Value will be updated to $5,000,000,000.00 as a general figure for reporting. Actual Total Contract Values will be known at the conclusion of all Task Orders performed under the IDIQ contracts.
