About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Program Contracting Activity Central is seeking Initial Outfitting, Transition, and Activation (IOT&A) services to support the new El Paso Health Care Center through a firm-fixed-price contract. The procurement involves non-personal contractor support services to help bring the facility into full planned operations, enabling the delivery of comprehensive healthcare services to Veterans at the new 492,996 square foot facility being constructed on Ft. Bliss Garrison land. The services will support a wide range of medical capabilities including primary care, surgical services, behavioral health, radiology, pharmacy, prosthetics, dental, geriatrics, audiology, pathology, women's health, and community care services. Based on the government files, there are conflicting dates for when the solicitation will be posted, with one document indicating September 26, 2025, and another showing February 9, 2026, though the response deadline is consistently listed as either October 23, 2025, or March 5, 2026. Eligible contractors must be VA-verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses that meet the small business size standard for NAICS code 541614 (Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services).
This procurement is designated as a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside under FAR Parts 12, 13, and 37, reflecting the VA's commitment to supporting veteran-owned enterprises. The contract features an estimated performance period of 39 months, providing substantial duration for the comprehensive outfitting and activation process required for the major construction project. The new El Paso VA Healthcare Facility represents a significant expansion of veteran healthcare services, approved by Congress as part of a collaborative effort involving the VA, CFM, VHA, USACE, and Ft. Bliss. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned in the available documentation, though the scope suggests a substantial investment given the facility's size and comprehensive service offerings. Questions regarding this procurement should be directed to Contract Specialist Michele Laser and Contracting Officer Mercedes Blanton via email. The project supports the VA's broader mission to expand healthcare service opportunities for Veterans in the El Paso region.
