The department’s main health care agency further spells out the roles and responsibilities of prime contractors as team leaders ahead of a final solicitation release.
The Veterans Affairs Department agency responsible for VA’s health care system is moving ahead on the pathway to recompeting its go-to modernization contract vehicle with the release of a draft solicitation.
In a familiar refrain, the Veterans Health Administration heavily emphasizes the word “team” in the draft for the Integrated Healthcare Transformation 2.0 contract released Thursday.
VHA now says it intends to choose six teams led by service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses for prime spots. The definitive range of awards for this set-aside contract is between four and eight.
IHT 2.0 will have a potential 10-year period of performance and a ceiling of up to $14 billion, or around 10 times greater than that of the current vehicle awarded in 2020 at a $1.5 billion ceiling.
The draft RFP also sheds more light on VHA is looking for in Veteran Integrated Teams, the labeling that each group selected for an award will receive. Each VIT will be overseen by the prime contractor to be designated as Veteran Integrated Team Agile Lead, or VITAL.
