Intent to Sole Source

NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE

Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office 21 (NCO 21) intends to award a sole source, firm fixed price with economic price adjustment, indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contract to Petalumaidence Opco, LLC doing business as (dba) Vineyard Post-Acute. There is one Veteran currently at the facility, and the current contract expires January 31, 2020. Consequently, a replacement contract is being established to provide continued care for the veteran at the community nursing home (CNH).

All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.

As prescribed in VHA Handbook 1143.2, for more than 35 years the CNH Program has maintained two cornerstones: some level of patient choice in choosing a nursing home close to the veteran s home and family, and a unique approach to local oversight of CNHs. In light of this Program, the VA does not intend to move the Veterans or disrupt their care.

A Justification and Approval (J&A) will be executed by the Head of the Contracting Activity (HCA) for the contract and will be posted to https://fbohome.sam.gov/ as required by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.01(a)(1)(iii).

Period of Performance: February 1, 2020 through January 31, 2025
