Award Details
This award was made as a sole source action to the incumbent contractor, VETMED GROUP LLC, under FAR 12 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items.

This interim contract ensures no disruption to patient care while a long-term, competitive acquisition is prepared.
Future Opportunities
Market research for the long-term requirement has identified multiple interested SDVOSB and Small Business entities. A competitive acquisition for these teleradiology services is planned and anticipated to be set aside for either SDVOSBs or Small Businesses.
