Feasibility Study & Master Plan

The State of South Carolina's State Fiscal Accountability Authority, Division of Procurement Services, is seeking a contractor to conduct a comprehensive Feasibility Study and Master Plan for Veterans' healthcare needs on behalf of the South Carolina Department of Veterans Affairs. The primary objectives include analyzing the state's approximately 375,000 Veterans, examining current healthcare infrastructure, and developing strategic recommendations for future service delivery. The project will require a detailed report encompassing demographic data analysis, projected long-range service demand, geographic priority rankings for potential new construction, and conceptual designs that incorporate current accessibility standards. Deliverables must include a comprehensive technical and business proposal demonstrating relevant experience with similar veterans' healthcare projects. The solicitation requires bidders to provide references from comparable projects completed within the past five years. Key dates include a pre-proposal web conference scheduled for September 23rd, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET, with proposal submissions due on October 28th, 2025, at 11:00 AM. The contract period is estimated to run from January 2nd, 2025, to May 2nd, 2025, with a maximum duration of four months.

The procurement will involve evaluation of six existing State Veterans' Homes currently operated through private healthcare management contracts. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the project appears focused on comprehensive healthcare infrastructure planning for veterans. The study will consider special population needs, including considerations for Veterans with Dementia/Alzheimer's and Women Veterans. Pricing will be evaluated competitively, with points assigned based on the lowest total potential value of the proposed solution. The project aims to align with both state and federal Veterans' healthcare support efforts, suggesting a potentially significant investment in improving veterans' healthcare infrastructure. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the feasibility study and master planning suggests a substantial procurement opportunity for qualified contractors with expertise in veterans' healthcare infrastructure planning and analysis.
