About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 seeks a contractor to provide emergency residential placement and psychosocial/therapeutic rehabilitation services for homeless veterans at a 40-bed facility on the Northport VA Medical Center campus, with proposals due July 6, 2026 (extended from July 3 due to the July 4th holiday) and questions due June 18. This is an unrestricted IDIQ contract, follow-on to 36C24221D0058, with no set-aside.
Place of performance is Northport, New York (VAMC campus). The facility must serve 37 male and 3 female beds and house chronically homeless, mentally ill, substance-abusing, or medically complex eligible veterans referred by the VAMC. The contractor must achieve same-day admission (within 24 hours of referral) and permanent housing placement within 60–90 days of admission, not to exceed 180 days without a waiver. The VA provides the facility; the contractor is not required to supply or control the real property. The facility must comply with Life Safety Code, ADA accessibility standards (5–7% of beds), state licensing requirements, and pass initial and annual VA inspections. The contractor must maintain 24/7 administrative and clinical supervision, employ case managers at a 1:20 veteran-to-staff ratio, and deliver crisis intervention, psychosocial counseling, medication monitoring, three daily meals plus snacks, structured activities, health/hygiene support, and housing/benefits assistance. Records must be maintained in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) with HIPAA and VA data security compliance.

The estimated maximum total contract value is $10,935,400.00 over the entire contract term, with a guaranteed minimum of $100.00. Monthly invoices are submitted electronically through Tungsten Network and paid 30 days after receipt. Performance metrics require 85% or greater positive discharges, no more than 10% administrative discharges, no more than 5% negative discharges, and zero unacceptable discharges per six-month periods.

1. In Section B.3 it states that the facility must be licensed under State or Federal authority, can you give me an explanation of what type of license is required?
Response:
This means that the facility/agency must possess the appropriate legal license(s) or certification(s) issued by either a State or Federal regulatory body, which authorizes operation of the agency s current services.
B.3 PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT
6.4 The contractor s facility must be licensed under State or Federal authority and must meet all applicable local, state, and Federal requirements for licensing and health codes. Copies of valid licenses must be provided to the VA at the time of inspection and again each year during annual inspections. Where applicable, the facility must have a current occupancy permit issued by the authority having jurisdiction of the facility.
2. It was my understanding that the VA provides the facility on site at the VAMC at Northport? There is language in the RFP that says the contractor must have site control of the residential facility through ownership or a valid lease. Can you help clarify this information?
Response:
The services under this HCHV solicitation will be provided in a VA-provided building, located on the grounds of the Northport VAMC. The requirement in the RFP referring to site control of the residential facility through ownership or a valid lease is applicable in circumstances where the contractor is expected to supply the facility. For this solicitation, since the VA is providing the space, all health code and occupancy requirements for the facility will be managed by the VA.
3. Section B.3 states the 40-bed program "shall be provided on the grounds of the Northport VAMC," while Section 6.1 requires contractors to have "site control of the residential care facility through ownership or valid lease." These provisions appear to be in conflict.
We request clarification on the following:
Will the VA provide a facility on the Northport VAMC campus for the contractor's use, or is the contractor expected to independently secure an off-campus residential facility?
Response: Yes
If VA-provided, will the contractor be charged rent or an occupancy fee, and if so, at what rate?
Response: The contractor will not be charged rent or an occupancy fee.
Is the contractor's scope limited to delivering all residential services staffing, food, programming, case management, and 24/7 supervision within the VA-provided space?
Response: Yes
Can the VA provide the historical average annual occupancy rate for this program under the previous contract? This information is material to accurate pricing and would allow offerors to submit more competitive and realistic proposals.
Response:
The average annual occupancy rate for this program typically ranged between 85% and 95%. Future occupancy rates are subject to fluctuations based on veteran need.
4. I have a question regarding the HCHV contract, the wage determination does not show all titles of staff we have at the current HCHV contract? What should we use for wage determination?
Response:
You should find the Closest Match. Review the determination to see if there is a classification that encompasses the core duties of your unlisted role. The conformed wage must bear a "reasonable relationship" to the existing wage rates listed in the WD for similar skill levels.
OR
If duties do not align with any existing category, the contracting agency must submit a formal request to the DOL. Under SCA rules, this is done using an e98 form.
5. Is there any incumbent/recompete or this is a brand-new project? If yes, could you please provide us with their award number or even if the customer bought similar services in the past.
Response:
This is a recompete. The existing contract is 36C24221D0058.
