About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs has awarded contract 36C79119D0006 to OPTUM PUBLIC SECTOR SOLUTIONS, INC. for a one-year extension of the Community Care Network (CCN) Region 3 IDIQ contract on a sole-source basis, with an award value of $28,798,457,761.61.
The justification cites FAR 6.302-2, unusual and compelling urgency. The CCN Region 3 contract, initially awarded December 28, 2018 and expiring September 30, 2026, provides medical, surgical, complementary and integrative health services, durable medical equipment, pharmacy, and dental services across eleven jurisdictions: Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The extension period runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. The agency determined that no alternative contractor possesses the established infrastructure, provider network, and claims processing systems necessary to deliver uninterrupted services while competitive follow-on procurements (CCN-Next Generation Medical and Dental RFPs posted December 15, 2025) proceed toward award and implementation. Without interim coverage, service gaps would extend through July 2028. Two additional one-year option periods (October 1, 2027 through September 30, 2029) have been established but will be exercised only with agency head approval if necessary to ensure service continuity. The contractor is located in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Services are performed across the eleven designated jurisdictions with administrative oversight by the Veterans Health Administration. The contracting office is the Strategic Acquisition Center, Fredericksburg, Virginia.
