V212--Baltimore VAMC Wheelchair Van Transportation Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 is seeking non-emergent wheelchair van transportation services for the Baltimore VA Medical Center. The solicitation requires contractors to provide 24/7 wheelchair transportation for veterans across Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia, including trips to and from VA medical centers, community-based outpatient clinics, airports, and veterans' residences. Key requirements include maintaining clean and well-maintained vehicles, ensuring drivers possess valid licenses and pass background checks, complying with COVID-19 protocols, and adhering to strict patient care and confidentiality standards. Contractors must utilize the VetRide Vendor Portal for trip requests and invoicing, maintain detailed vehicle maintenance records, and achieve a 97% compliance threshold for service requirements. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on December 16, 2025, with a question deadline of January 4, 2026, and the full solicitation is expected to follow.

This procurement is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), significantly limiting the eligible bidder pool. The contract is structured as a 5-year Firm Fixed Price, Shared Capacity, Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a performance period from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031. While the pre-solicitation notice does not specify the total contract value or award amounts, the multiple award structure suggests the government intends to distribute work among several qualified contractors. No incumbent contractor information is provided in the available documents, though the multi-year duration and staggered award approach indicate significant ongoing transportation demand from the Baltimore VAMC.
