CANCELLATION MEMORANDUM

Subject: Cancellation of RFQ No. 36C24426Q0675 Date: 08/03/2026

1. Purpose

This memorandum documents the Department of Veterans AƯairs’ decision to cancel Request for Quotation (RFQ) No. 36C24426Q0675, issued by Network Contracting OƯice (NCO) 4, under FAR Part 12 procedures.

2. Background

RFQ 36C24426Q0675 was issued on SAM.gov as an unrestricted competitive commercial solicitation. The quotation period closed and three vendors submitted responses.

Following closure, the Contracting OƯicer identified that the RFQ was posted with an incorrect North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code, which directly aƯects competition eligibility and may have excluded firms that would have participated under the correct classification.

3. Determination

Because the NAICS code represents a material element of the solicitation that governs eligibility and competitive participation, the error constitutes a substantial change requiring cancellation and re-solicitation. This determination aligns with federal precedent where substantial solicitation changes warrant cancellation regardless of procurement phase.

Proceeding with award under an incorrect NAICS code would not comply with the requirement that solicitations accurately reflect the principal purpose of the acquisition and would risk improper limitation of competition.

4. Decision

Based on the above, no award will be made under RFQ 36C24426Q0675.

The Government will issue a new solicitation under the correct NAICS code to ensure full and open competition consistent with FAR policy.

All vendors who previously submitted quotes will be notified of this cancellation through the publication of a Special Notice on SAM.gov.
