Black Hills Nephrology Sole Source RFO 6.103-2 J&A Award Notice
Opportunity Information
Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs VISN 23 requires on-site, Board Certified
Nephrology Physician Services to ensure continuity of specialized renal care for
Veterans of the Black Hills Health Care System. These services are essential for
providing evaluation, treatment, and management of complex nephrology conditions
and must be available without interruption. In accordance with the Performance
Work Statement (PWS) and Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP), the
Contractor shall furnish all qualified physician labor and expertise necessary to meet
or exceed community standards of care. Due to the specialized nature of nephrology
services and the need for consistent clinical coverage, obtaining these services from
another source at this time would result in unacceptable delays in patient care.
Therefore, a one-year sole-source procurement is required to ensure uninterrupted
services while the follow-on competitive acquisition is being developed.
