About this file

This is a Sources Sought Synopsis from the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration for a contract to supply and distribute flat bronze markers worldwide. The requirement is to establish multiple indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts with one base year and four one-year option periods. The procurement targets NAICS code 331529 (Other Nonferrous Metal Foundries) with a size standard of 500 employees, and the VA is specifically interested in potential sources, particularly Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) or Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB).

The solicitation seeks market research to determine qualified sources and their business classifications. If the VA finds two or more eligible SDVOSB or VOSB vendors capable of performing the work at fair and reasonable prices, they may set aside the solicitation specifically for veteran-owned businesses under 38 U.S.C. 8127. Interested vendors must submit responses by January 30, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST to Weston Worsham via email, providing company details, business size information, and capabilities in producing and distributing flat bronze markers. The notice emphasizes that this is not a formal solicitation, but a preliminary market research effort to inform future procurement strategies.
