The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 621511 and the product/service code is Q301.
While this synopsis does not constitute a solicitation, interested vendors may identify their interest and capability to satisfy the requirement. Interested firms with the capability of providing the requirement shall submit capability statements so the Government can determine the firm’s experience and capability to provide the requirements.

Vendors that believe they can provide the capabilities required to fully meet the Government's requirement may submit information in writing to cameron.rick@va.gov within the timeframe of this notice. Such documentation will be reviewed solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis.
