This document is an amendment to a previous combined solicitation by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for the FY23: VISN 8 Eyeglasses Requirement. The solicitation number is 36C24823R0045 and the Product Service Code is 6540. The current proposal due date of October 31, 2024 has been suspended until the government issues a new amendment answering remaining questions and establishing a new proposal due date.

The scope of the requirement is for the contractor to provide prescription eyeglasses, both dress and safety, including the option for veterans to select and submit their frame selection and measurements online. The contractor must fabricate the eyeglasses in strict conformance with the VA-provided prescriptions, warrant the eyeglasses for a minimum of one year, and provide a web-based portal to track order status and manage billing. The number of patients covered is expected to fluctuate within VISN 8 over the contract term, and ordering is done through the VA's Prosthetic and Sensory Aids Service. The solicitation is set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses.
