Pilot Test

This is a non-competitive bid (NCB) from the California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet) to extend a contract with Rehab Practice Management, LLC to provide therapy services for the Veterans Home in Fresno, California. The one-year contract extension is from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016 with a total contract amount of $40,000. CalVet is in the process of awarding multiple home/multiple service/multiple contracts for all eight Veterans Homes, but the primary, secondary, and tertiary contractors do not have providers readily available. The extension is needed to allow the contractors additional time to recruit, train, and perform background checks on new providers, which could take up to six weeks. CalVet requires the therapy services to maintain its Skilled Nursing Facility license. This NCB must be displayed as a public record in accordance with Government Code Section 14825, but no bids will be accepted.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor is Rehab Practice Management, LLC, and the contract extension is needed to ensure continuity of service while CalVet transitions to new providers. The total contract value is $40,000, which represents the budget for this procurement.
