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 in support of a new Outpatient Clinic within the North Texas VA Health Care System (NTXHCS) in Tyler, Texas. This requirement supports VHA's mission by providing contractor support services to help bring the Tyler, Texas Outpatient Clinic 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 (18) eighteen months.

The NTXHCS was approved for a major lease to expand services for Veteran healthcare. This project proposes to lease a new Outpatient Clinic in Tyler, TX. This project is approximately 53,267 net usable square feet (NUSF) in addition to 327 parking spaces. The clinic is classified as a multi-specialty clinic and will allow an expansion to the current footprint for Primary Care, Mental Health, and Specialty Care services, as well as needed new services such as Radiology, Pharmacy, Prosthetics, Eye Clinic, Dental, Cardiology, Audiology and Laboratory.

The work required under this requirement is expected to consist of the following services in support of this new facility activation: Project Management Services; Interior Design and Space Planning; Furniture Fixtures and Equipment (FF&E) Planning Support; Acquisition Services; Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and Transition Planning; Relocation, Delivery, and Installation Services; Training and Simulation; Strategic Communications (STRATCOM) Support Services; and Biomedical Planning, Execution, and Quality Assurance.

Activation is defined as the process of identifying, planning, managing, and executing the logistical and operational requirements to bring a new medical center into full planned operations. The medical center assigns VHA staff to an Activation Team which is responsible for managing the Activation Project and ensuring the medical center is in full planned operations on Day One (the first day clinical services are scheduled to be available to Veterans). The Day One date is currently estimated to be in September 2021.
