The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 has awarded a sole-source contract to VetMed Group LLC., Group Inc., an SDVOSB, for off-site teleradiology physician services supporting the Western Colorado Health Care System Grand Junction facility under contract 36C25926D0053 on July 9, 2026.

The justification cites 38 U.S.C. § 8127(c) and rests on the urgent and critical nature of the requirement, which prevents conducting a competitive acquisition due to onboarding, credentialing, and system integration delays that would interrupt radiology coverage. VetMed Group was selected based on its extensive experience with 22 executed VA contracts, proven onboarding framework, familiarity with VA network configuration and credentialing processes, and demonstrated ability to assume immediate coverage without service interruption. Market research identified multiple VetCert-listed SDVOSBs capable of providing the services; however, only VetMed Group possessed the operational maturity required to meet the critical timeline.

The contract runs for six months from July 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026, with an option to extend if necessary. Services include final interpretation and reporting of weekday after-hours exams (4:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.), weekend, and holiday imaging studies, with interpretations meeting American College of Radiology standards. Estimated quantities include approximately 10–15 STAT and urgent mixed modality studies per night during weekday after-hours and 20–30 per day on weekends and federal holidays. Price analysis found the contractor's modality-based exam rates within the expected fair and reasonable range, reflecting a 3.6 percent increase above the Independent Government Cost Estimate. Place of performance is Grand Junction, Colorado.
