Q504--Dermatology Affiliate

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA) intends to award a sole source contract to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic for program evaluation support related to select projects in the VRHRC-WRJ annual business plan at the White River Junction VA Medical Center. The procurement will be conducted under FAR 6.302.1-1, which allows for acquisition from only one responsible source when no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The contract will require the contractor to provide necessary personnel and equipment to support dermatology affiliate services. Interested parties must respond by December 5, 2024, at 3:00 PM EST by contacting Contract Specialist Richard Matthiesen via email at Richard.matthiesen@va.gov. The opportunity is categorized under NAICS code 611310 for Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools, with a corresponding PSC code Q504 for Medical-Dermatology services.

The procurement is not set aside for any specific small business category, and no competitive solicitation will be posted to SAM.gov due to the sole source nature of the contract. Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic is the intended sole source contractor, located in Lebanon, New Hampshire, with the place of performance at 163 Veterans Drive, White River Junction, Vermont. The NAICS size standard for this category is $30,000,000, suggesting potential flexibility in contract scope and value. While specific award value details are not explicitly stated, the contract appears focused on providing specialized program evaluation support for the VA medical center's annual business plan. The sole source justification implies that Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic possesses unique capabilities or expertise that cannot be replicated by other potential providers in supporting the VA's specific requirements.
