About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 23, operating the Central Iowa VA Health Care System, is seeking to procure gastroenterology physician services through a Request for Quote (RFQ) solicitation numbered 36C26326Q0009. The procurement requires a minimum of three board-certified gastroenterology physicians with at least two years of clinical experience, current Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certifications, and valid medical licenses to provide on-site services including colonoscopies and esophagogastroduodenoscopies (EGDs). Offerors will be evaluated based on three primary criteria: technical excellence encompassing physician qualifications, experience, and clinical skills; past performance; and price, with the government selecting the most advantageous offer. The original solicitation deadline of December 5, 2025, at 10:00 am Central Time applied to the initial submission period; however, Amendment 0002, effective December 11, 2025, cancelled this solicitation entirely. Critical procedural requirements include active registration on SAM.gov, submission of electronic quotes, and acknowledgment of all solicitation amendments, with the Contracting Officer Angela Stewart serving as the primary point of contact.
This opportunity is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) under NAICS code 621111, with a small business size standard of $16 million. The incumbent contractor is Iowa Digestive Disease Center, which operated under the previous contract 36C26324P0691. The contract period runs from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, with four optional one-year renewal periods exercisable at the government's discretion, requiring three credentialed providers to cover 16 hours per week typically on Tuesdays and Thursdays during normal clinic hours of 0800-1600, with physicians expected to see approximately 12 to 14 patients daily and perform 12 to 14 endoscopies during surgical days. Services will be performed at the Central Iowa VA Health Care System located at 3600 30th Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50310. The performance will be monitored through a comprehensive Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) with quarterly evaluations using a rating scale from Exceptional to Unsatisfactory, requiring 100% compliance with provider quality standards, patient safety, licensing maintenance, and VA regulations.
