Q402--notice of intent to sole source (CNH services)

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 05 at the Hershel "Woody" Williams VA Medical Center in Huntington, West Virginia has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for Community Nursing Home services. The agency intends to award a sole source contract to Huntington Health & Rehabilitation Center, located at 1720 17th St, Huntington, WV 25701, under NAICS code 623110 for Nursing Care Facilities (Skilled Nursing Facilities). The contract will be awarded under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) and 41 USC A3304(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, with the justification that only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency's requirements. The VA anticipates awarding an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract structure. The notice was posted on June 23, 2025, with the same date serving as the response deadline.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform industry contractors of the government's intent to proceed with a sole source procurement rather than conduct a competitive solicitation process. The VA has explicitly stated that this notice is for informational purposes only and is not a request for competitive proposals, quotations, or offers. No solicitation document will be made available, telephone requests will not be honored, and no awards will be made based on unsolicited responses to this notice. There are no eligibility criteria for contractors to participate since this is a sole source procurement limited to the specifically identified vendor. The notice serves as a transparency measure to notify the contracting community that the VA has determined that Huntington Health & Rehabilitation Center is the only entity capable of meeting their Community Nursing Home service requirements, and the agency will not be responsible for any costs incurred by parties responding to this informational notice.
