Cancelled | RFQ# 36C26125Q0579 | G099 HUD-VASH Housing Support Specialist Services at SFVAHCS

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 has issued a Special Notice regarding the cancellation of solicitation 36C26125Q0579 for HUD-VASH Housing Support Specialist Services at the San Francisco VA Health Care System. The solicitation, which was posted and due on October 7, 2025, has been determined non-awardable due to several critical procurement issues. The agency identified problems with the Performance Work Statement being overly restrictive by limiting services exclusively to 250 Kearny Street, where the incumbent vendor holds the master lease. Additional concerns included potential disruptions to continuity of care and the appearance that the requirements were tailored to favor the existing contractor, raising unfair competition issues.

The purpose of this cancellation is to ensure a fair and transparent procurement process by addressing the restrictive nature of the original solicitation. The VA plans to issue a new solicitation that will revise the Performance Work Statement to allow flexibility in service location, enabling other vendors to propose viable alternatives if the current site is unavailable. This revision aims to eliminate the competitive disadvantage faced by potential contractors who would otherwise need to secure and operationalize entirely new facilities. The Special Notice does not specify new deadlines or eligibility criteria, as these will be established in the forthcoming revised solicitation. The opportunity falls under NAICS code 624229 for Other Community Housing Services and relates to the HUD-VASH program, which provides housing assistance for homeless veterans. Interested parties are directed to contact Austin.Mitts@va.gov for additional information regarding the upcoming revised procurement.
