The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Geriatrics and Extended Care Program Office is seeking an independent survey company or contractor to conduct compliance surveys at State Veterans Homes in accordance with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services standards and Title 38 Code of Federal Regulations Part 51. The contractor will be responsible for surveying SVHs and identifying deficient practices through a structured survey process executed via task orders under an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract. The surveys must align with established CMS methodologies and federal regulatory requirements for nursing home, domiciliary, and adult day health care services. While the pre-solicitation notice does not specify explicit evaluation criteria or detailed technical requirements, interested firms should anticipate that proposals will be evaluated based on their ability to comply with CMS survey protocols and regulatory standards. No specific deadlines for questions or proposal submissions have been provided in this pre-solicitation notice, as this announcement only indicates the government's intent to procure these services and does not obligate the issuance of a formal solicitation.

This contract opportunity is set aside exclusively for Women-Owned Small Businesses under NAICS code 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services). The resulting contract will be structured as a fixed-price ID/IQ agreement with a twelve-month base period followed by four optional twelve-month periods, providing up to five years of potential contract performance. No information regarding award values, budget ranges, or estimated contract volumes has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The government has explicitly stated that this notice does not obligate it to award a contract, pay for proposal preparation costs, or issue a formal solicitation. Interested women-owned small business contractors should monitor for the full solicitation announcement to obtain comprehensive requirements, evaluation criteria, and submission instructions.
