The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), through its Network Contracting Office (NCO) 10 located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, has issued a Sources Sought Notice to gather market research regarding the provision of Paratransit Services for the Battle Creek VA Medical Center in Battle Creek, MI. This notice, identified under procurement number 36C25026Q0502, is not a solicitation or request for proposals, but rather an information-gathering exercise in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10. The intent is to identify capable sources and inform future procurement planning for these specialized transportation services.
The anticipated scope of work involves providing paratransit services to support the transportation needs of veterans served by the Battle Creek VA Medical Center, located at 5500 Armstrong Road, Battle Creek, MI 49037. The VA envisions awarding a contract with a base year and four one-year option periods, ensuring continuity and reliability of service over a potential five-year period. The services sought fall under NAICS Code 485991 (Special Needs Transportation), with a size standard of $19 million, and Product Service Code V226 (Transportation/Travel/Relocation – Travel/Lodging/Recruitment: Taxicab).
Key requirements for interested contractors include demonstrating the ability, capability, and responsibility to deliver paratransit services as described in the draft Statement of Work (SOW), which is attached to the notice. Respondents are expected to provide detailed information about their relevant experience, including at least three past contracts for similar services, complete with contact information, contract values, periods of performance, and service descriptions. Additionally, contractors must submit a public price list or contract price list for the services, and clarify whether any portion of the work will be subcontracted, including details about the subcontractor(s).
The VA is particularly interested in responses from Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), 8(a), HUBZone, Women Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDB), and other small or large businesses.

All interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and maintain current annual representations and certifications. The notice emphasizes that all responses are voluntary, will not be compensated, and that failure to respond does not preclude participation in any future solicitation.

Submissions are limited to 10 pages and must adhere to the specified format and content requirements. No marketing materials will be reviewed, and emails must not exceed 10MB in size.
