About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 issued a sole source justification notice for nursing services at the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System in New Orleans, Louisiana. The contract, awarded to SOLVET SERVICES, LLC on December 23, 2025, is a three-month bridge contract running from January 1, 2026 through March 31, 2026, valued at approximately $2.6 million, designed to maintain continuous nursing services while the VA resolves a Government Accountability Office (GAO) protest related to a previously planned five-year contract award. The sole source justification is based on the urgency of preventing a service gap, the incumbent contractor's ability to provide already-credentialed nursing staff, and the short-term nature of the engagement that precludes extensive market research. SOLVET SERVICES, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, will supply an estimated 25 Registered Nurses for medical-surgical and specialty care, 15 Registered Nurses for dialysis and intensive care, 4 Licensed Practical Nurses, and 18 Certified Nursing Assistants under NAICS code 561320 (Temporary Help Services) and PSC Q401 (Medical-Nursing). The procurement falls under the Veterans First Contracting Program priority for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, utilizing statutory authority for sole-source contracting when only one source is available.
