V231--Lodging Service

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is seeking lodging services for veterans receiving medical care at the St. Louis VA Healthcare System's John Cochran Division. The solicitation requires a hotel/motel to provide two fully furnished, ADA-compliant rooms daily (Sunday through Friday) within 5 miles of the VA facility, including amenities such as no-cost breakfast, shuttle transportation, and on-site staff support. This will be a 5-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with one-year ordering periods from June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2030. Evaluation criteria will prioritize price, with technical capabilities and past performance considered as secondary factors. Potential contractors must submit their quotes by March 3, 2025 at 4:30 PM CST, using NAICS code 721110 with a $40M size standard.

The contract has no specific set-aside designation and is open to all qualifying vendors. The guaranteed minimum contract value is $60, with a maximum ceiling of $68,000. Rooms must include two double beds, utilities, telephone service, and basic cable TV, and the facility must comply with the Hotel and Motel Fire Safety Act. The place of performance is St. Louis, MO 63106, with the vendor required to guarantee room availability for veterans traveling more than 100 miles or 2+ hours for medical appointments. Eligible veterans must be medically stable and capable of self-care, with reservations processed through VA clinic staff at least 3 business days in advance. The contract emphasizes providing a comprehensive lodging service rather than just a booking mechanism, with specific requirements for on-site staff coordination and shuttle services.
