U.S., establishing that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) must set aside contracts for Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs) if there's a "reasonable expectation" of getting two or more competitive offers, making the "Rule of Two" mandatory for all VA contracts.

The requirement is being solicited and awarded using the guidance of FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation under NAICS 531210, Offices of Real Estate Agents and Brokers.

The Government intends to award 6 to 10 contracts depending on the results of evaluations.
