AI Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6 intends to award a sole-source, 3-month bridge contract to Charis Services LLC for Wheelchair Van Transportation Services. This urgent requirement, estimated at $399,995.25, is for veterans at the Hampton VAMC and associated facilities, starting January 1, 2026. The contract ensures continuity of essential transportation services while the VA prepares a new, competitive solicitation. Charis Services LLC is the incumbent contractor, chosen due to time constraints and the need to prevent a break in service. The award is justified under VAAR 819.7008 for sole-source awards to a certified service-disabled veteran-owned small business. Market research identified other capable SDVOSBs, but the urgency necessitated this sole-source award. A new, open-market SDVOSB set-aside contract will be solicited for subsequent acquisitions.
