Quick Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Network Contracting Office 17, has issued a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation (RFP) for Non-Emergent Wheelchair Transportation Services for the North Texas Veterans Health Care System (NTVHCS) and its associated Community-Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs). This opportunity is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside. Proposals are due Monday, June 1, 2026, at 10:00 AM CDT.

Scope of Work

The contractor will provide comprehensive non-emergent wheelchair transportation services on an as-needed basis, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including weekends and holidays. Services include transporting patients, their luggage (up to 20 lbs), medical records, and comfort items. Key requirements involve providing all necessary vehicles, qualified personnel, management, supplies, equipment, and reporting. Drivers must be at least 18 years old with one year of driving experience, a clean record, and be capable of administering oxygen and advanced first aid. Vehicles must meet federal, state, and local regulations, be safe, and comfortable. The contractor must utilize the VetRide Vendor Portal or VA-approved transportation software for all requests and maintain a Quality Control Plan (QCP). The Performance Work Statement (PWS) has been updated to include Privacy, HIPAA Compliance, Information Security, and Record Management language.

Contract Details

This is a Single Award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a Firm-Fixed-Price structure. The ordering period is from August 03, 2026, through February 02, 2031 (54 months). The contract has an IDC Minimum of $5,000.00 and an IDC Maximum of $100,000,000.00. The NAICS code is 485991 (Special Needs Transportation) with a size standard of $19 Million.

Submission & Evaluation

Proposals are due by Monday, June 1, 2026, at 10:00 AM CDT, and must be submitted via email to anitra.carter@va.gov and astrid.mckinney@va.gov. Proposals should be organized into three volumes: Solicitation, Offer, Price & Award Documents; Technical Capability; and Past Performance. Evaluation will follow a Best Value Tradeoff Approach, where Technical Capability (Go/No-Go, then tradeoff) and Past Performance (Recency, Relevancy, Success) are considered more important than Price. Offerors must be registered and active in SAM.gov. An amended Vendor Questionnaire (Attachment B) requires detailed responses on phase-in plans, fleet/staffing/dispatch, and QCP, along with certifications for EPA Fuel Surcharge and Limitations on Subcontracting.

Key Updates & Notes

Amendment 0001 extended the proposal due date and incorporated several updates. The solicitation includes 20 Service Contract Act Wage Determinations covering the extensive service area across Texas and Oklahoma counties. Historical trip data from VetRide implementation is available. The contract covers only non-emergent wheelchair transports, with positioning and wait times expected to be absorbed into the rate pricing. Prior VetRide experience is not mandatory, as training will be provided during the 30-day phase-in period. Licenses and permits are required during the phase-in, not at proposal submission.
