About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 is seeking community nursing home facilities to provide comprehensive nursing care services for veterans through an open and continuous Request for Quote process. The solicitation seeks multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts for facilities that meet CMS certification requirements, state licensing, and maintain at least a three-star overall rating or two-star rating with four-star quality measures on CMS Nursing Home Compare. Contractors must provide specialized care including hospice, Alzheimer's/dementia care, ventilator care, spinal cord care, psychiatric/geropsychiatric care, and dialysis services, with payment based on Resource Utilization Groups (RUG) rates that classify patients by care complexity and medical needs. The evaluation will consider facilities' ability to meet VA notification procedures for incidents and deaths, maintain proper staffing levels, and comply with federal and state regulations for patient care and facility operations. The solicitation remains open continuously with first consideration occurring on January 15, 2025, and a final submission deadline of December 31, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and no current contractors or incumbents are identified in the solicitation materials. Each contract includes a minimum guaranteed amount of $20,000, with the NAICS code 623110 carrying a size standard of $34 million for qualifying businesses. The contract structure includes a base period plus four option years, with an additional six-month extension option available to continue services beyond the standard contract term. Services will be performed in the Dallas, Texas area (75216), with contractors required to submit monthly invoices and provide regular updates on patient status, incidents, and quality measures throughout the contract period. The procurement uses RUGs III and RUGs IV classification systems to determine appropriate care levels and corresponding reimbursement rates for the various medical and functional needs of veteran residents.

Update #2 · Latest ·
Notice of Conversion to PDPM rates.
Payment is issued IAW will use the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) as the pricing method for new IDIQ contracts. VHA will also propose to modify current contracts in effect after September 30, 2025 to use PDPM. PDPM was introduced by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in 2019 and some states have adopted PDPM. CMS stopped supporting the Resource Utilization Groups (RUG) rates on in 2020. The temporary exceptions to this change are contracts awarded for Alaska and Oregon or awarded to a Medicaid-only nursing home in a state that has not yet converted to PDPM.
Future contract prices and modified contract prices using PDPM will follow the same fee schedule used for Veterans Care Agreements (VCA). These rates are set nationally and published at https://www.va.gov/COMMUNITYCARE/revenue-ops/Fee-Schedule.asp. VHA will no longer negotiate rates. VHA will provide PDPM claims assistance during the transition.
