Special Notice Notice of Intent to Modify Contract The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office 17, intends to award a firm-fixed priced modification to Propath Services, LLC, to increase the ceiling of IDIQ 36C25726D0033 by $6,000,000.00 and add the Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System to the IDIQ. The increased ceiling will accommodate testing for both the VA North Texas Healthcare System at 4500 S. Lancaster Rd., Dallas, TX 75216, and the Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System at 1901 Veterans Memorial Dr., Temple, TX 76504. The modification will be made by a pricing agreement with ProPath Services, LLC. The requesting activity states due to a lack of testing availability under a national contract and an immediate need for testing, and to comply with Executive Orders to consolidate requirements and further the President s goals to restore common sense to federal contracting and reduce wasteful spending, the testing for the Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System is requested to be added to 36C25726D0033.
