The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 sought to procure 24/7/365 monitoring services for the Care, Treatment, and Rehabilitative Services (CTRS) "Tiny Shelter" site at VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System (VAGLAHS), a facility housing 135 tiny shelter units with capacity for 164 individuals plus a Safe Parking program for up to 15 vehicles. The contractor was required to staff the facility with one full-time Program Director (requiring a bachelor's degree in social sciences and three years of housing/homelessness program experience), one Lead Monitor per shift, and varying numbers of Monitors (6 day shift, 6 evening shift, 4 overnight shift) across three daily shifts, with all personnel needing high school diplomas/GED, current CPR/AED/First Aid/Narcan certifications, California Food Handler Cards, and at least one year of homelessness services experience. The RFP was originally issued February 5, 2026, with a final proposal due date of April 29, 2026, at 3:00 PM Pacific Time, and questions were due by February 12, 2026. Evaluation criteria included contractor experience providing monitoring services to homeless populations (supported by reference contracts), pricing, and veterans involvement through service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) or veteran-owned small business (VOSB) status or subcontractor utilization. The solicitation underwent two amendments before being cancelled on April 29, 2026.

This was a total small business set-aside contract structured as a firm-fixed-price indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) award with a guaranteed minimum of $1,000 and a maximum aggregate contract value of $6,100,000 over a four-year performance period from May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2030, equating to approximately $1.2 million annually. The contract consisted of one base period plus three option periods, with actual annual expenditures to vary based on agency needs through annual task orders. The place of performance was located at 11301 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90073, with the contracting office at Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 22 in Long Beach, California. Contract specialist Tracey Williams-Douglas served as the point of contact for the solicitation, which was classified under NAICS Code 561990 (All Other Support Services) and PSC Code R699 (Support-Administrative: Other). However, this solicitation was ultimately cancelled via Amendment 0003, issued on April 29, 2026, the same date as the final proposal deadline.
