About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 has awarded a sole-source contract to Ridgecrest Community Healthcare, LLC for Community Nursing Home services supporting the Phoenix VA Health Care System, with a contract value of $9 million over 20 months (July 1, 2026 through February 29, 2028).
The award was made under FAR 6.302-1 authority (only one responsible source exception) and 41 U.S.C. 1901. Ridgecrest is the only known facility in the region capable of providing integrated behavioral health and skilled nursing services in a locked Institution for Mental Disease setting. The facility currently serves 44 Veterans with complex psychiatric needs, holds CMS certification, and maintains a 4-star quality rating. Market research confirmed limited alternative qualified providers; searches of the SBA Small Business database, Medicare.gov, and SAM.gov identified no other providers capable of delivering both behavioral health and skilled nursing services. Relocating Veterans would cause undue burden, disrupt treatment continuity, incur substantial transportation costs, and risk hospitalizations due to care transition delays.
The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity agreement with Economic Price Adjustment provisions, covering room, meals, standard nursing care, physician visits, lab work, and x-rays. Pricing is based on VACO Medicare Benchmark Rates with a negotiated discount percentage, adjusted annually per Economic Price Adjustment clause provisions. Place of performance is Phoenix, Arizona. The contracting office is located in Long Beach, California. Contract number is 36C26226D0095, awarded May 29, 2026.
