Q201--635 HCR Blackwell CBOC (VA-26-00045948) Short- Term

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 has issued a Special Notice announcing the award of a short-term contract for a Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) providing primary care services in Blackwell, Oklahoma. The contract is designated as solicitation number 36C25926D0028 and will serve the Oklahoma City Veterans Affairs Health Care System (OKCVAHCS). This is classified as a sole source award to the incumbent contractor, Blackwell Family Medicine, with the contracting office located in Greenwood Village, Colorado. The product/service code is Q201 (Medical Services), and the NAICS code is 621498 (All Other Outpatient Care Centers). The primary point of contact is Contracting Officer Patricia Toliver at patricia.toliver@va.gov or 303-712-5801.

This Special Notice represents an interim contracting solution to maintain uninterrupted veteran healthcare services while a longer-term competitive procurement is finalized. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement with a base period from April 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026, and a three-month option period extending through September 30, 2026, designed to serve approximately 620 veteran enrollees monthly. The sole source justification restricts competition to the incumbent contractor because establishing a new CBOC requires four to six months for facility buildout, staff recruitment, credentialing, and VA background checks—a timeline incompatible with the April 1, 2026, start date. Market research identified forty-five eligible small businesses under NAICS 621498 in Oklahoma, including Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, but none possessed the capability to commence operations within the required timeframe. Pricing will be determined as fair and reasonable using current contract rates, an Independent Government Cost Estimate, and a 2.87 percent Consumer Price Index escalation rate, with a concurrent long-term competitive SDVOSB set-aside solicitation (36C25922R0102) in pre-award phase.
