VA Healthcare & Services Contracts — October 10, 2026

The $18,112,864 firm fixed-price contract from VA Network Contracting Office 6 (36C246) runs from 2021-09-10 through 2027-03-31 under an SDVOSB set-aside. The recipient appears privately held, so the signal is primarily a read on VA emergency staffing demand rather than a direct equity catalyst.

The contract reports $0 outlayed against an $18,112,864 obligation, and the firm fixed-price structure places cost overrun risk on White Stone Spectrum Healthcare Resources LLC over the 2021-09-30 to 2027-03-31 performance period.

The SDVOSB set-aside structure signals VA policy preference for veteran-owned firms in emergency physician staffing, a model that could be replicated across other VA network offices.

A single $18,112,864 VA award for ER physician staffing under an SDVOSB set-aside indicates ongoing agency demand for outsourced emergency medicine coverage. The contract's NAICS 621493 and PSC Q509 coding confirms a healthcare staffing focus with no technology component.
