About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center in Austin published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice on November 6, 2025, for VHA Clinical Recruitment Service (VA-26-00013287), which was awarded to ARGENT ARC LLC on November 4, 2025. The contract, valued at $900,000, covers national clinical recruitment and placement services designed to expedite the referral and selection of qualified clinical professionals for hard-to-fill positions at VA Medical Centers under the Office of Workforce Management and Consulting. The VA justified the sole source award based on Argent ARC's exceptional performance on previous VA marketing and recruiting contracts, verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) status, and demonstrated technical qualifications to meet urgent staffing needs. The procurement was authorized under FAR 6.302-5 (Authorized or Required by Statute) using NAICS code 561311 (Employment Placement Agencies) and PSC code R431 (Support - Professional: Human Resources). The VA conducted market research and posted a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source, receiving 13 responses including 5 VetCert-verified SDVOSBs, ultimately selecting Argent ARC for its proven expertise and capability. The one-year, firm-fixed price contract will serve as an interim solution, with the VA planning to conduct a follow-on competitive acquisition within the next year to address long-term clinical recruitment challenges.
