Appendix_L_07 Pool Breakdown 20261104.docx

This file is an appendix detailing the pool breakdown structure for the VA's IDIQ Multiple Award Task Order Contract for construction services. The procurement establishes four distinct contractor pools: one Unrestricted Pool open to all contractors nationwide and in U.S. territories, and three SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business) Pools with geographic restrictions. The SDVOSB Pool 1 (Eastern Pool) encompasses 21 states and territories including Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and others. SDVOSB Pool 2 (Central Pool) covers 16 states including Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Texas, and Wisconsin. SDVOSB Pool 3 (Western Pool) includes 13 states and territories such as Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.

The structure mandates a minimum of ten awardees per pool, with the three SDVOSB Pools designated exclusively for service-disabled veteran owned small businesses while the Unrestricted Pool remains open to all eligible contractors. This geographic division enables the Department of Veterans Affairs to distribute construction, renovation, maintenance, and repair work across the nation while supporting veteran-owned business participation in the VA's infrastructure modernization efforts.
