This is a modification (Amendment 2) to a pre-solicitation notice for a small business event that does not constitute a formal solicitation. The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization is issuing this amendment solely to reference an additional NAICS code (339112) closely associated with specific communities of interest, addressing a functional limitation in SAM.gov to expand the reach of the announcement. All other information from the previous notice remains unchanged.

EST on December 8 and 8:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. EST on December 9.
