The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Integrated Service Network 22, awarded a $35,064 firm fixed-price purchase order to Sentinel Services, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) based in Elkins, Arkansas, for the fabrication of military emblems. The contract, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2025, originated from a March 2025 pre-solicitation notice seeking an SDVOSB contractor to procure and fabricate six 30-inch diameter cast bronze medallions depicting official emblems of each U.S. military branch. These medallions are intended for installation at the Tibor Rucher VA Medical Center in Long Beach, California, as part of the facility's effort to honor veterans entering the system for medical services.
Sentinel Services will be responsible for developing detailed technical drawings of the medallions, managing the entire design and fabrication process, and ensuring the bronze castings meet specified requirements including lead-free tin bronze material, chemically oxidized finish to statuary medium color, and protective packaging for shipment. As an established SDVOSB with extensive experience supporting VA medical facilities across multiple regions, Sentinel Services brings relevant expertise in specialized equipment and facility work for the Department of Veterans Affairs. This contract supports the VA's mission to provide comprehensive care and meaningful recognition to the veteran population while advancing federal small business contracting goals through the SDVOSB set-aside program.
