Nutrtiiton Care Workers

The Special Notice published by the Department of the Army Medical Command is for nutrition care worker services at Womack Army Medical Center in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The Regional Health Contracting Office-Atlantic will award a firm-fixed price contract valued at $4,437,696 for a base year and four option years to North Carolina Business Enterprise.

The justification document approves a sole source award to the incumbent contractor, North Carolina Business Enterprise, in accordance with the Randolph-Sheppard Act. The contractor will provide 12 full-time equivalents to deliver nutrition services to patients, ensuring continuity of care. While numerous capable small businesses were identified, the requirement was set aside for the state licensing agency due to the expiring contract's use of the Randolph-Sheppard Act. The deadline for proposals was July 24, 2020. Market research found this sole source procurement to be in the best interest of the government given the expiring contract and need to maintain service levels under the Randolph-Sheppard Act.
