The opportunity is structured as a firm fixed-price purchase order agreement for one base year, with a NAICS code of 561611 and a size standard of $25 Million. The solicitation specifically encourages Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SD/VOSB) to respond, requiring registration in VETBIZ.GOV, verification by VA CVE, and SAM registration.
Interested parties must submit: (1) company details including name, address, point of contact, phone number, and DUNS number; (2) documentation of technical performance capability with references; and (3) proof of veteran-owned business status if seeking preference. The response deadline is July 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with electronic submissions accepted via Ian.Herrick@va.gov.
