Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has published a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source modification to an existing contract (36C25621C0013) for Onsite Psychiatrist Services at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center (MEDVAMC) in Houston, Texas. This modification, P00015, increases obligated funding to ensure continued, uninterrupted psychiatric services through July 17, 2026.
Scope of Work
The incumbent contractor, Millbrook Support Services, will continue to provide essential on-site Psychiatry services, supporting the Mental Health Care Line. These services include:
- Psychiatric evaluations
- Medication management
- Crisis intervention
- Inpatient consults
- Coordination with multidisciplinary teams
Contract & Timeline
- Opportunity Type: Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition
- Contract Number: 36C25621C0013
- Modification: P00015
- Purpose of Modification: Increase task order funding by $814,890.00
- Period of Performance (Modification): January 18, 2026, through July 17, 2026
- Incumbent Contractor: Millbrook Support Services
- Published Date: May 21, 2026
Justification & Eligibility
This action is justified under FAR 6.302-2, "Unusual and Compelling Urgency." The government intends to continue services with the incumbent due to their unique qualifications and institutional knowledge, which are critical for uninterrupted service delivery. Transitioning to a new contractor would cause unacceptable delays, creating a lapse in critical psychiatric coverage and increasing risk to patient safety. No other responsible source can meet the immediate requirement within the necessary timeframe.
Additional Notes
The current contract is scheduled to expire in July 2026. A new competitive acquisition for follow-on coverage is already underway. The anticipated cost for this modification has been determined fair and reasonable based on prior contract pricing and market research; no price increases are proposed.
