Background
The solicitation is issued by the Network Contracting Office 20, which is part of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The purpose of this contract is to provide services related to nursing home care, ensuring compliance with various federal and state regulations.

The amendment to the solicitation aims to clarify proposal submission requirements and evaluation factors for interested offerors.

2) Past Performance, where the VA will review Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) reports for prior contracts;
3) Price Evaluation based on Medicare Benchmark rates published annually by Geriatrics & Extended Care (GEC) and VA Central Office (VACO).

Failure to provide any required documents will result in a grade of fail for Technical Capability. The amendment also includes updates to clauses regarding orders and services.
