- Description
- The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking a Contractor to assist with the provision of emergency residential placement and treatment services through the Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) program. This contract is designed to serve homeless Veterans in need of immediate placement in a safe environment with onsite treatment services. Many of these veterans have co-morbid conditions that include serious mental illnesses, substance abuse disorders, and other serious medical conditions. The goal of the HCHV Contract Residential Care Program is to rapidly stabilize Veterans' medical, mental health, substance abuse and other psychosocial problems in order to place Veterans in other appropriate transitional or permanent housing within 60 to 90 days, but no more than 180 days. VA intends to engage a Contractor to provide rapid placement of VA-referred Veterans in a safe, residential treatment setting while addressing Veterans' complex needs through on-site clinical treatment and case management services. Entities that are interested in providing Veterans these services should be aware that although this contract seeks services for the areas covered by the VA Southwest Health Care Network (VISN18) including Kingman, Prescott or Flagstaff and Tucson, HCHV is a national program serving Veterans throughout the country. This program continues to expand and has become one of the largest VA interventions to assist homeless Veterans. It is also the first specialized homeless program developed by the VA. It represents one of VA's most significant efforts to achieve the President's goal of ending homelessness among Veterans. Through this contract, the VA seeks to support homeless Veterans served by HCHV to include the Steps for Vets program by expediting placement of these Veterans into a safe, residential treatment facility. This facility must meet the criteria established both by HCHV clinical staff and VA fire and safety officials. The VA anticipates issuing a solicitation for this requirement the week of July 22, 2013, with a closing date for proposals on or about August 14, 2013. The solicitation will be available for download from http://www.fbo.gov. Interested contractors will be responsible for downloading copies of solicitation (and any subsequent amendments) from that website, and no hard copies will be made available. The solicitation will provide full information to contractors about the proposal submission process. Prospective offerors are encouraged to register their interest in the solicitation on the FBO website so that they are notified of the issuance of the solicitation and any amendments. Notice to potential offerors: NAICS Code is 623220 with a small business size standard of $14M. The solicitation will be issued for full and open competition. All responsible sources may submit proposals which shall be considered by the Agency. All offerors who provide goods or services to the United States Federal Government must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov and complete Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA).
