VA awards new leases to provide health-care facilities to Veterans

VA  awarded 13 major leases to improve access to care and deliver health-care facilities to Veterans.

These awards are a result of VA’s leasing business transformation effort to improve the timeliness of the lease procurement process.

“These awards are the next step in increasing access for our Veterans across the country,” said VA Secretary Robert Wilkie. “VA stands firm in ensuring our Veterans are treated in state-of-the-art facilities and continue to access the high quality of care VA is able to provide.”

The transformation effort aims better to align VA’s lease procurement processes with those of the private sector and other federal agencies with an emphasis on increased competition, cost savings and speed to market.  The following developers and locations were selected following a competitive lease procurement process:
