About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 7, is issuing a Sources Sought Notice for temporary lodging services to accommodate VA beneficiaries authorized for overnight stays under the VA Hoptel Program at the Birmingham VA Medical Center located in Birmingham, Alabama. This is a market research notice only, meaning no solicitation is currently being issued, though one may be issued later based on the responses received. Interested vendors must submit responses by December 18, 2025 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time to Lasonja Harvey at Lasonja.harvey@va.gov, and responses should include company information, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number, business size status under NAICS code 721110 (Hotels except Casino Hotels and Motels), and preliminary rate information for lodging services.

The contract would cover up to six rooms per day Monday through Friday and two rooms per day on weekends, with an estimated 1,050 rooms annually, all standard double rooms with handicap accessibility.

The hotel facility must be located within seven miles of the Birmingham VA Medical Center and must provide shuttle services between 6:30 AM and 8:00 PM, complimentary breakfast, standard amenities including microwaves and televisions, and transportation for specific patient groups such as Renal Transplant Center patients. Additionally, the contractor must maintain high cleanliness standards, offer free parking, and comply with all federal regulations and patient safety requirements.
