Historical Information

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Acquisition Operations (OAO) is seeking information from manufacturers/distributors of Self-Sanitizing Surface products. Self-Sanitizing Surface products are defined as products that are composed with a material which prevents the survival, transmission, or cross-contamination of pathogens and therefore serves as a preventive measure for infection control with no additional human processes.
