Transitional Housing Services for Homeless Veterans: Auburn, Tuskegee, and Montgomery Alabama

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA VISN 7) is soliciting quotations for transitional housing services for homeless veterans with substance abuse and/or mental health diagnoses in the Auburn, Tuskegee, and Montgomery, Alabama areas. The procurement requires three unfurnished residential housing units - two for male veterans and one for female veterans - each at least 1,200 square feet with specific amenities including three bedrooms, two bathrooms, common areas, and a full kitchen. Quotations must be submitted electronically by January 24, 2025 at 23:00 EST, with separate volumes covering technical approach, past performance, and pricing. Evaluation criteria will include technical capability, past performance history, and pricing, with additional consideration for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). Potential offerors must demonstrate the ability to provide units within 30 miles of the specified cities, located near shopping and public transportation, and meet all local safety and accessibility codes.

The solicitation is now an unrestricted competitive procurement under NAICS code 624229 with a $19 million size standard, having been originally designated as a SDVOSB set-aside before amendment. The contract will be a five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement running from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030, with a guaranteed minimum of $5,000 for the initial fiscal year and a maximum ceiling of $2 million. The contractor will be responsible for providing utilities, maintenance, emergency repairs, semi-annual cleaning, and ensuring properties meet all local codes and safety requirements. Performance locations will be within Auburn, AL 36832, and the surrounding 30-mile radius, with units needing to be within one mile of shopping and bus stops. While no specific incumbent is mentioned, the solicitation indicates a preference for SDVOSBs and Veterans-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs), who will receive evaluation preferences under VAAR regulations.
