Q402--Community Nursing Home TVHS VA Catchment Area

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 is soliciting proposals for Community Nursing Home Services within the TVHS VA catchment area. The solicitation seeks Medicare-certified and state-licensed nursing care facilities that can provide comprehensive long-term care services for veterans using the Medicare Resource Utilization Groups (RUGs) IV system for patient care classification and reimbursement. Providers must offer all-inclusive per diem rates covering room and board, nursing care, therapy, and related supplies and services. The evaluation will focus on preferred rates based on patient care needs, with facilities required to demonstrate capacity to deliver high-quality care and meet VA standards. The solicitation (Number 36C24924R0088) was originally posted on September 10, 2024, with a response deadline of September 9, 2025, though a subsequent amendment on April 9, 2025, indicated the procurement was canceled.

The solicitation does not indicate any specific set-aside designations and covers nursing care facilities within the designated TVHS VA catchment area, which is detailed in the attached geographical map. The contract structure includes a one-year base period with potential for up to four additional one-year option periods, with a total maximum contract value of $10 million. Potential providers will need to complete detailed application documentation, including VHA Form 10-1170 for long-term care service qualification and VA Form 10-7078 for medical service authorization. The Department of Veterans Affairs will retain the right to monitor care quality, remove veterans from facilities, and terminate contracts for cause. Interested providers must be prepared to meet extensive documentation requirements, including licensing verification, staffing details, and compliance with Department of Labor wage determinations for relevant occupational categories.
