The purpose of this Special Notice is to post the Government s intent to sole source.

This acquisition is conducted under the authority of FAR 13.5, Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial items. The resultant contract will consist of a five-year ordering period with an anticipated award date of May 1, 2024. VA s Community Nursing Home program has allowed the VA s CNH program personnel, the veteran, and the veterans family to choose where a veteran is placed.

As prescribed in VHA Handbook 1143.2, for more than 35 years, the CNH Program has maintained two cornerstones: some level of patient choice in choosing a nursing home close to the veteran s home and family; and unique approach to local oversight of CNHs. The quality of care for the veteran will be accomplished through placement in a nursing home that is in close proximity to where the veteran and his family resides.

Notably, in the VA s community nursing home program, the veteran s placement decision is made by VA, the veteran, and the veteran s family. The geographic factor in these circumstances makes this requirement unique and, therefore, not subject to competition.
