This is not a solicitation; no quotes are being requested, and none will be accepted. Contract 36C26226P1758, which included FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, is set to expire on 10/31/2026. An interruption in essential medical transportation services would critically impede the VA’s ability to fulfill its statutory obligations under 38 USC 111A, disrupt continuity of healthcare operations, and potentially lead to regulatory noncompliance. Due to the urgent and compelling nature of this requirement, it is the best interest of the Government to extend services on the current contract, in accordance with FAR 52.217-8. Non-Emergent Medical Transportation services are required by statute under 38 USC 111A. Services include pre-arranged, scheduled, unscheduled, and will call door-to-door service from beneficiary’s apartments and homes, and other areas designated by the Patient Travel Office (PTO) to get to and from scheduled medical appointments. It also includes discharges from PVAHCS inpatient wards, the Emergency Department, as well as transports to and from contracted nursing homes. This extension is needed to ensure regulatory compliance and continuity of mission critical services for up to 3 months, pending the award and performance start date of the competitively solicited long-term contract.
