Bid Opportunity Pulse: Q201—Granbury CBOC (SDVOSBC)

Executive takeaway

This is a VA Network Contract Office 17 (36C257) requirement tied to the Granbury, Texas Community-Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC). It is listed under PSC Q201, NAICS 621498, and is a SDVOSBC set-aside. The public description is minimal (“GRANBURY, TEXAS, COMMUNITY-BASED OUTPATIENT CLINIC”), so the first move is to pull the full solicitation (36C25724R0010) and verify scope, staffing, performance period, and evaluation approach.

What the buyer is trying to do

The buyer (VA, NCO 17) appears to be acquiring outpatient-clinic related healthcare services for the Granbury CBOC in Texas. The PSC and NAICS suggest non-physician outpatient / ambulatory services may be involved, but the notice snippet does not provide enough detail to state specific clinical disciplines, volumes, or operating model. Treat the current posting as an early signal and validate all requirements in the full documents.

What work is implied (bullets)

• Support services associated with a VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) in Granbury, Texas (verify exact services in the solicitation).
• Performance aligned to PSC Q201 (verify what service categories the buyer maps to this code in the attachments).
• Delivery under NAICS 621498 (verify size standard, licensure expectations, and any mandated accreditations in the solicitation).

Who should bid / who should pass (bullets)

• Should bid: SDVOSBC healthcare services firms that can credibly cover outpatient/ambulatory clinic support consistent with NAICS 621498 and can operate in or around Granbury, Texas (final determination depends on the full solicitation requirements).
• Should bid: Incumbent-adjacent providers or partners already serving VA clinic environments (verify whether incumbency details or transition requirements appear in attachments).
• Should pass (or pause): Firms without SDVOSBC status (this is listed as an SDVOSBC set-aside).
• Should pass (or pause): Teams that cannot staff or support Texas-area outpatient clinic operations once staffing model and on-site requirements are confirmed in the solicitation.

Response package checklist (bullets; if unknown say 'verify in attachments')

• Solicitation number: 36C25724R0010 (verify all amendments in attachments).

• Past performance / experience narratives (verify in attachments).
• Pricing/price proposal (verify pricing structure and templates in attachments).

Pricing & strategy notes (how to research pricing; do not invent pricing numbers)

Because the posting provides only a short description, you’ll need to ground pricing strategy in the solicitation structure and any historical signals you can legally source:

• Start with the pricing format in the solicitation (labor, fixed-price services, per-visit, per-hour, etc.—verify in attachments). Your price strategy depends heavily on how the VA wants to buy and measure performance.
• Benchmark against comparable VA clinic support work by reviewing prior awards tied to similar PSC/NAICS and CBOC operations (validate relevance carefully; do not assume “CBOC” means the same scope across sites).
• Risk-price the unknowns until you confirm volumes, hours of operation, staffing mix, and transition requirements in the solicitation.

Subcontracting / teaming ideas (bullets)

• Consider a local Texas-area clinical services partner to strengthen on-the-ground coverage in/around Granbury (confirm whether on-site presence is required in the solicitation).
• Team with a firm experienced in VA outpatient clinic environments if your organization lacks direct VA clinic operational history (ensure SDVOSBC prime compliance remains intact).
• Use specialty subs to cover any discipline-specific requirements once identified (verify disciplines and credentialing requirements in attachments).

Risks & watch-outs (bullets)

• Scope ambiguity: The public snippet is extremely limited; do not build a bid plan until you review the full solicitation and any attachments.
• Missing deadline in the record: The response deadline is not shown here; verify in attachments to avoid a late submission.
• Set-aside constraint: Listed as SDVOSBC; ensure status and any subcontracting/teaming approach stay compliant.
• Geographic execution risk: Confirm whether services are on-site at the Granbury CBOC and what availability requirements apply.
