This document is a modification to a previous notice for a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) solicitation for National Prescription Eyeglasses Manufacturing. The pre-solicitation notice seeks prescription eyeglass manufacturing services for eligible veterans, set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). The contract will be an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) covering the entire nation, with a ten-year performance period consisting of a five-year base period and one five-year option period.

Key details include the solicitation number 36C24125R0088, with a response date of September 19, 2025, at 16:30 Eastern Time. The procurement will result in multiple awards for manufacturing prescription eyeglasses (both dress and safety) for VA beneficiaries across all sites of care. Potential vendors must comply with the Nonmanufacturer Rule requirements or fall under current class waivers. The contracting office is located in Augusta, ME, with Jeremy J. Boston serving as the Contract Specialist, and interested parties were initially invited to submit questions or comments by July 18, 2025, though this modification indicates no further questions will be accepted.
