The VA Eyeglass Frame 2016-2021 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a federal contract vehicle established by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to facilitate the procurement of eyeglass frames for veterans' vision care needs. The contract enables the VA to rapidly acquire optical frames through multiple prime contractors, providing flexibility in meeting the vision care requirements of veterans across different Integrated Service Networks (VISNs). The vehicle supports the systematic and efficient procurement of eyewear components, specifically focusing on the acquisition of high-quality eyeglass frames from various manufacturers and distributors.

The task orders under this contract consistently demonstrate a pattern of firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from approximately $25,000 to $500,000, typically with annual performance periods aligned to the federal fiscal year (October 1 to September 30). Frequent prime contractors include A & A Optical Company, Capri Optics Inc. (Welling Eyewear), Hart Specialties Inc. (New York Eye), and Vision Associates of Rochester, predominantly serving Veterans Integrated Service Network 20, which covers the Pacific Northwest region. Most delivery orders are not set aside for specific socioeconomic categories, though some task orders have been designated for total small businesses. The contractors are predominantly small businesses, including minority-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, reflecting the VA's commitment to supporting diverse suppliers while meeting veterans' optical needs.
