About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 is seeking to procure gastroenterology physician services for the Central Iowa VA Health Care System in Des Moines, Iowa. The procurement requires board-certified gastroenterology physicians with a minimum of two years of experience, along with current Basic Life Support and Advanced Cardiac Life Support certifications, to provide comprehensive clinical gastroenterology services including colonoscopies and esophagogastroduodenoscopies. Physicians must be on-site two days per week and perform within their scope of practice while maintaining compliance with VA security requirements, training mandates, and medical standards. The evaluation will prioritize four factors in descending order of importance: technical excellence (assessing provider qualifications, experience, and clinical skills), past performance, price, and veterans involvement status. The original solicitation closing date was December 22, 2025, which was subsequently extended to January 28, 2026, and the Government ultimately cancelled the solicitation on March 19, 2026.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 621111 with a small business size standard of $16 million, issued as a Request for Quote under simplified acquisition procedures. The incumbent contractor is Iowa Digestive Disease Center, which previously held contract number 36C26324P0691. The contract period runs from February 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, representing an anticipated workload of 832 hours per year (16 hours per week), with four optional one-year renewal periods available at the Government's discretion, and compensation structured as firm-fixed price based on actual hours worked. The service will be performed at 3600 30th Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50310, and all interested vendors were required to submit quotations acknowledging receipt of multiple amendments and providing required documentation including proof of licenses, board certifications, and key personnel availability confirmation.
