Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Network Contracting Office (NCO 21), is conducting a Sources Sought to identify vendors capable of providing "Boots on the Ground" services in Oahu, Hawaii, for the Center for Pacific Islander Veterans Health (CPIVH). This market research aims to improve healthcare access for Veterans in Hawaii, the continental U.S., and U.S.-Affiliated Pacific Islands. Responses are due by June 12, 2026, at 10:00 A.M. PST.
Purpose & Scope
This is a market research effort, not a solicitation, to identify potential contractors (regardless of business size) for a one-year requirement (anticipated September 30, 2026 – September 29, 2027). The services involve procuring two contractors to support the CPIVH by recruiting, training, and supervising Community Health Workers (CHWs). These CHWs will conduct culturally tailored outreach and needs assessments for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) Veterans. Key tasks include developing regional outreach workplans, promoting VHA services, creating assessment tools, developing a CHW training curriculum, and establishing a database system. While the primary focus is Oahu, the VA is also seeking capabilities for the Pacific Basin, Neighbor Island, and Continental U.S.
