Description

Nursing Home Performance Work Statement (PWS) The Department of Veterans Affairs VA Oklahoma City Healthcare System in Oklahoma City, OK is seeking a contractor capable of providing Nursing Home Services locally. Contractor must have a facility within a 15 mile radius of the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center at 921 NE 13th Street in Oklahoma City, OK 73104. This solicitation requires registration with the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award, pursuant to applicable regulations and guidelines. Registration information can be found at www.sam.gov. A.Overview 1. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) - Basic Ordering Agreements. This is a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) for the time period of one year from the date of award with four (4) one (1) year options, in accordance with FAR 16.7. A binding contract is formed, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this agreement, when the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) agrees to place a patient in the Community Nursing Home (CNH) and the CNH agrees to accept the patient. Upon acceptance by the Contractor of beneficiaries of VA, all clauses and terms and conditions of this BOA shall apply and become a part of the resultant contract during such time as a VA patient remains in that CNH at the expense of VA. 2. Ordering (Authorization) Process. VA acknowledges that, depending on the availability of resources at specific BOA holder facilities at specific times, acceptance of a referral may be commercially impracticable for the BOA holder. In that event, the BOA holder may decline to accept an authorization. If the BOA holder proposes another contractor facility, VA reserves the right to reject that facility and seek the services from another BOA holder. If the BOA holder has determined space is available and has accepted the Veteran, an authorization will be issued. 3. Orders. VA personnel designated in writing will issue written authorizations for Veterans to the BOA holder. Location primarily will be selected based on the Veteran's needs and proximity to the Veteran's home. 4. A BOA shall be changed only by modifying the agreement itself and not by individual orders issued under it. Modifying a basic ordering agreement shall not retroactively affect orders previously issued under it. See FAR 16.703(c)(2). 5. Services Rendered at VA Per Diem Rates. Upon acceptance of a VA patient by the CNH, if and when requested by the VA Contracting Officer or authorized representative, the Contractor shall furnish all supplies and services herein described, at the per diem rates for the services specified on the MEDICARE PRICING Table in the Schedule of Items of this BOA. VA rates are generally based on CMS RUGs rates. See Section D.1 (Contract Documents, Exhibits or Attachments) for RUGs Descriptions. VA is only obligated to pay for patients that are placed in accordance with this BOA. B.Requirements 1.Location. Nursing Home must be located within 15 miles of the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center at 921 NE 13th Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73104. 2. General. Nursing home facilities in the CNH program shall ensure that care meets the health needs and promotes the maximum well-being of VA patients. Nursing home care will be furnished to ensure the total medical, nursing, and psychosocial needs of VA beneficiaries. All nursing home facilities in VA's CNH program must have current Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) certification (Medicare and/or Medicaid) and a State nursing home license. VA developed quality of care standards utilizing CMS inspection criteria that are followed by VA in its selection of nursing homes. See VHA Handbook 1143.2, "VHA Community Nursing Home Oversight Procedures (June 4, 2004) a copy of which is available at: http://www.va.gov/vhapublications/publications.cfm?pub=2. VA often has a particular need for specialty care services in the CNH program. The VA requires CNHs to have bed capacity to ensure their ability to take referrals when requested. The CNH also must be able to accept VA referrals in a timely fashion (ideally within 24 hours of request). Primary care/provider (medical doctor, nurse practitioner, and/or physician assistant) visits will be available at the rate of one (1) visit per month. Laboratory, x-ray, and other special services will be available to VA patients as needed. In addition, the care provided will include room, meals, nursing care, and other services or supplies commensurate with the VA-authorized level of care, without extra charge. Duly authorized representatives of VA will provide quality oversight visits to veterans placed to assure continuity of care and to assist in the veterans' transition back into the community. These visits do not substitute nor relieve the CNH in any way of the responsibility for the daily care and medical treatment of the veteran. The per diem rate(s) established in this BOA will include the cost of nursing care, room and board, meals, primary medical care, one (1) provider visit per month and needed consultation, drugs and routine supplies, laboratory, x-ray, and other special services authorized by VA, unless otherwise specifically excepted (see Schedule of Items in this BOA for details regarding per diem rates and coverage). Full attention shall be given to motivating and educating patients to achieve and maintain independence in the activities of daily living. Every effort shall be made to keep patients ambulatory and to achieve an optimal level of self-care.
