About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs awarded contract 36C79119D0005 to Optum Public Sector Solutions, Inc. on a sole-source basis for a contract extension under the Community Care Network Region 2 IDIQ, with an award amount of $22,490,596,798.99.
The justification cites unusual and compelling urgency under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(2). The current contract expires September 30, 2026; without interim extension, a two-year service gap (October 2026 through July 2028) would result from insufficient time to competitively award and implement replacement contracts before expiration. The CCN-NG Medical IDIQ is projected for award in January 2027 with 12-month implementation; the CCN-NG Dental IDIQ anticipated award in September 2026 with 12-month implementation. Market research from 2021 through June 2025 included industry days, RFIs, and site visits; an RFI issued May 30, 2025 generated 17 responses, and follow-on CCN-NG RFPs attracted 59 sources for medical services and 8 for dental services.
The extension runs one year from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with two additional one-year option periods exercisable only upon agency head approval. Performance covers 13 states: Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota, serving 8.3 million Veterans annually through 152 VA medical centers and over 850 community-based outpatient clinics. The Third-Party Administrator maintains networks of licensed providers offering medical, surgical, complementary and integrative health services, durable medical equipment, pharmacy, and dental services.
