Management & Operation Services at the Ussery-Roan Texas State Veterans Home

The Texas General Land Office ("GLO") and the Veterans Land Board ("VLB") are seeking proposals from entities to manage and operate the Ussery-Roan Texas State Veterans Home located in Amarillo, Texas. The selected Respondent will be responsible for providing all services necessary to provide and maintain quality care and management of the 120-bed Home, including services related to information systems, financial controls, resident rights, infection control, personnel and staffing, maintenance and repairs, and nutrition and dining. Responses to the Request for Proposals (RFP) are due by June 3, 2024, and the contract term is expected to be effective as of the date executed by the last party and remain in effect through August 31, 2027, with an option to renew for one additional three-year term. The RFP indicates that the VA provides a per diem subsidy for care to eligible veterans, and the GLO/VLB has established daily rates for the cost of care at the Home. Respondents must provide a cost proposal including fee arrangements and budget estimates, and the GLO/VLB will select the proposal that provides the "best value" based on criteria such as cost, relevant experience, operations plan, staffing approach, and maintenance methodology.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current operator, ML Cares, LLC, may be eligible to submit a proposal to continue operating the facility. The RFP does not provide any listed incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP does not list a specific award value or budget range, but the successful Respondent will be reimbursed based on a fixed monthly management fee plus reimbursement for care provided to residents based on various payor sources, including Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
