Q508--Hematologist/Oncologist Physician Services for the Captain James A. Lovell Health Care Center (FHCC) One-Year Contract

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 12, has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a one-year contract with Posterity Group LLC for hematology/oncology physician services at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago, Illinois. This Notice of Intent to Sole Source, issued on October 17, 2025, communicates the agency's plan to negotiate a non-competitive contract under the authority of 38 USC 8127(c) and VAR 819.7007. The contract will cover the period from November 10, 2025, through November 9, 2026. The procurement is designated under NAICS Code 561320 (Temporary Help Services) and PSC Code Q508 (Hematology & Oncology), with a small business size standard of $34.0 million.

The primary objective of this sole source procurement is to secure a Board Certified/Board Eligible hematology/oncology physician to provide inpatient clinic services Monday through Friday, as well as telephone consultations during off-hours, evening, weekends, and holidays to fill a position vacated by a VA physician deployed on military assignment. Posterity Group LLC has been identified as the only Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) capable of meeting the government's specific requirements and has a qualified physician available to commence services by the November 10, 2025 start date. The response deadline for this Notice was October 20, 2025, at 12:00 Central Time, and this is not a request for competitive offers; telephone responses are not accepted. Only SDVOSB vendors are eligible to participate in this procurement. The Notice establishes that the government's statutory authority permits other than full and open competition due to the urgent operational need created by the military deployment coverage requirement and the availability of a qualified SDVOSB vendor to meet those needs.
