This is a notice of intent of a sole source contract and not a request for competitive proposals.

No solicitation will be available or issued for this requirement. If a firm believes that VA should not pursue this sole source procurement with the AE firm Stone Group Architects, Inc. then they should submit information by 2:00 pm CST on November 14, 2025, to Angie Mabley at angelique.mabley@va.gov.
