VA Partner Request: SDVOSB/WOSB seeks new blood/fresh ideas for multi-billion-dollar IHT 2.0 IDIQ bid

With the recompetition for the heavily utilized Integrated Healthcare Transformation (IHT) contract on the near horizon, this leading IT and management consulting specialist, and Prime partner to VA on several enterprise contracts, is looking to build out its team by bringing in some new faces with fresh ideas.  

The VHA IHT IDIQ contract was awarded on April 1, 2020, with a period of performance that included a 5-year base period and one 5-year option period. Due to high utilization by VHA Programs responding to COVID-19, the Presidential Transition, and myriad legislation passed since IHT’s inception, the spend on this contract was nearing its original maximum contract value in fewer than 3 years. This past Spring, VA announced plans to increase the current contract maximum value by $450M to allow Task Order competitions to continue until the next IDIQ is solicited and awarded (1-year maximum ordering permitted under the approved Justification and Approval).  

The next iteration of the Integrated Healthcare Transformation (IHT) contract Primes will play a pivotal role in driving forward an organizational overhaul aimed at enhancing the capacity of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to deliver seamless, top-notch, and integrated healthcare services, accessible at all times and across all locations. 

The Ask: This major partner to VA, and a serious contender to win a spot on this important IDIQ, is seeking to add some team members who can not only help win a Prime spot on the IDIQ contract, but can also help win tasks and drive greater outcomes for the VA and our Veterans.
