PRESOLICITATION NOTICE Initial Outfitting, Transition, and Activation Services in support of the Jacksonville OPC.

100% SDVOSB SET ASIDE

This is a Pre-Solicitation Notice that the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) intends to solicit quotes to provide non-personal Initial Outfitting, Transition, and Activation (IOT&A) services for the Jacksonville Outpatient Clinic (OPC) Activation. This requirement supports VHA's mission by providing contractor support services to help bring the facility into full planned operations that will provide health care services to Veterans. This will be a firm-fixed-price contract with an estimated Period of Performance of (44) forty-four months.

In Fiscal Year 2018, the United States Congress approved numerous major leases for the Department of Veterans Affairs to enhance services for Veterans. The parent facilities, such as FVANC Coastal Health Care System, are working with VA Office of Real Property and other support offices to secure award of the leases to developers who want to create the site of care for VA use. This major lease will provide improved and expanded access to patients as well as clinical efficiencies to staff. A new 188,917 net usable square foot leased facility will include enhanced primary care, ambulatory surgery, radiology, mental health, women s health, pharmacy, minor procedure, dermatology, dental, gastroenterology and a variety of other specialty care services to Veterans. This project proposes to lease an approximately 188,917 net usable square foot (NUSF) new Outpatient Clinic in the vicinity of Jacksonville, NC, including 1300 parking spaces. The new facility would broaden access to Veterans in the Jacksonville, NC area, where the majority of Veterans in the Jacksonville, NC area live, and expand upon care currently provided at the nearby, at-capacity community-based outpatient clinics (CBOCs).

This requirement will be set-aside 100% for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) using FAR Part 12, 13 and 37. To be eligible for an SDVOSB set aside under VA s Veterans First Contracting Program, SDVOSBs must:

be verified by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as SDVOSB (see https://www.veterans.certify.sba.gov/ for details)

and

meet the small business size standard for NAICS 541614.
