This is a notice of intent to award a sole-source, non-competitive contract to Iroquois Nursing Home Inc. for community nursing home services. The requirement is for a five-year fixed-price contract to support the VA Medical Center in Syracuse, NY. The sole-source justification is based on the geographic necessity for the nursing home to be near veterans' families in the Syracuse area. The services will be performed at 4600 Southwood Heights Drive in Jamesville, NY. No funds have been authorized or appropriated for this effort.
