About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 22, seeks to award a fixed-price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract for non-emergent medical transportation services to the Phoenix VA Healthcare System, with responses due August 12, 2026. This is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to SDVOSB contractors.

Place of performance is Phoenix, Arizona, serving the main Phoenix VA Healthcare System facility and multiple community-based outpatient clinics throughout Arizona. The contractor must provide 24/7 wheelchair, stretcher, and ambulatory transportation services covering trips within the Phoenix area and up to 250 miles one-way. Service requirements include scheduled, unscheduled, and will-call trips for veterans to medical appointments, with response times of 30 minutes for standard requests and 20 minutes for critical patients (dialysis, hematology/oncology, radiation, oxygen delivery). The contractor must maintain two on-site transportation coordinators, employ licensed drivers with first-aid certification and background investigation clearance, operate vehicles equipped with wheelchair lifts, restraint systems, stretchers, oxygen equipment, and utilize the VA's VetRide software system for trip requests and invoicing.

The contract runs for a base period plus four option years, from November 1, 2026 through October 31, 2031. NAICS code is 485991 (Special Needs Transportation) with a small business size standard of $19.0 million. PSC code is V212. A mandatory site visit occurred November 13, 2025. Inquiries were due July 31, 2026. Evaluation uses best-value trade-off methodology weighing technical capability and past performance significantly more heavily than price. The contractor must maintain general liability ($500,000), automobile liability ($200,000–$500,000), workers' compensation, and medical liability insurance; comply with HIPAA; achieve 95% on-time pickup compliance; and meet quality assurance thresholds including zero tolerance for vehicle safety violations.
