G004--FY25: Veterans Residential Services| Tampa Sole Source

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Network Contracting Office 8 has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract for Veterans Residential Services. The one-year contract will be awarded to The Salvation Army at their Tampa, Florida facility located at 1100 W. Sligh Ave. This procurement is specifically intended to provide off-site residential services supporting the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital for eligible veteran beneficiaries. The acquisition is being conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures, which exempts the procurement from standard competition requirements. The contract falls under NAICS code 624229 (Other Community Housing Services) with a $19 million size standard and uses Product Service Code G004 for Social-Social Rehabilitation services.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the VA's intent to conduct a sole source acquisition while providing an opportunity for other capable organizations to demonstrate their ability to perform the required services. Although this is designated as a sole source procurement, any responsible contractor who believes they can fulfill the requirements may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations by the August 15, 2025 deadline at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. All responses and comments must be submitted electronically to Contracting Officer Peter Bedard at peter.bedard@va.gov prior to the closing date. The government retains full discretion in determining whether to proceed with the sole source award or consider alternative sources based on responses received. This initiative supports the VA's mission to provide comprehensive residential services for veterans requiring specialized housing and rehabilitation support through established community partnerships.
