About this file
This file is Amendment No. 1 to a Request for Quotation (RFQ) that provides vendor questions and answers related to a biofeedback certification training procurement. The amendment clarifies key requirements without changing the original offer submittal deadline of September 22, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST or any other solicitation terms.
The RFQ seeks a single Firm Fixed Price contract from a small business to provide biofeedback and HeartMath certification training for seven clinicians at the VA Caribbean Healthcare System in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The contractor must deliver didactic training that enables all seven participants to achieve BCIA (Biofeedback Certification International Alliance) Biofeedback certification and must include registration and certification fees for the official HeartMath Coherence Advantage certification program in the quoted price. None of the seven clinicians have prior HeartMath experience or pre-existing registration. The contract period extends from award through June 25, 2027. The procurement is a small business set-aside under NAICS code 611430 (Professional and Management Development) with a $15.0 million size standard, using PSC U099 (Education/Training General). The contracting office is the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 8 (VA Caribbean HCS) in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with Aurea Gonzalez serving as the point of contact. This is a new, one-time service procurement with no incumbent contractor.
