Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting a market‑research (sources‑sought) effort to gauge industry capability to provide emergency residential services for homeless veterans in San Joaquin County, California. The requirement calls for the provision of ten beds per day on a per‑diem basis, supporting outreach, case‑management, and housing services over a five‑year period (Feb 1 2027 – Jan 31 2032). Vendors are asked to submit capability statements and answer a questionnaire that covers licensing, staffing, veteran experience, and nightly rate estimates. No budget ceiling is disclosed; the government will use the responses to shape a future solicitation.
• Service: 10 emergency housing beds per day (≈ 3,650‑3,660 bed‑days per year) for homeless veterans.
• Performance period: Five consecutive one‑year ordering periods starting Feb 1 2027.
• Required capabilities: California DSS licensing, 24‑hour staffing, mental‑health services, case‑management, meals, wheelchair accessibility, and ability to submit nightly‑rate pricing.
• Submission: Email capability statement and questionnaire responses to the contract specialist by 10 a.m. PST on Oct 19 2026.
