This requirement supports VHA's mission by providing contractor support services to help bring the NBT of the JAHVH medical campus 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 (24) twenty-four months.

The NBT will enhance the adjacent VA Community Outpatient Clinical adding (5) five additional levels that will incorporate (96) ninety-six medical/surgical single patient rooms, (40) forty intensive care units (ICU) and spaces for support, education, and canteen services. Clinical services include but are not limited to: Acute Nursing Service Administration; ICU Coronary Nursing Units; ICU Medical Nursing Units; ICU Surgical Nursing Units; In-Patient Pharmacy Storage; Medical/Surgical In-Patient Units; and Enrollment and Eligibility.
