BACKGROUND The RFP provided for the award of a fixed-price contract for a contractor-owned/contractor-operated CBOC to meet the health care needs of veterans for a base year and four option years. Offerors were informed that treatment of patients was to begin not later than ninety days after the date of award. RFP at 5.
