The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 issued Solicitation 36C10C26Q0017 for commercial products and services under a Firm-Fixed-Price Requirements contract. The procurement was posted on April 26, 2026, with an offer due date of April 24, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EDT, indicating this solicitation has already passed its deadline. This is an unrestricted acquisition that incorporates standard FAR clauses (52.212-1, 52.212-4, 52.212-3, and 52.212-5) along with VA-specific security and information technology requirements. The contract includes extensive information security and privacy requirements detailed in Section B.2, encompassing mandatory background investigations, security clearance verification, data custodial controls, encryption standards, incident reporting obligations, and liquidated damages provisions for data breaches. Contractors must comply with all applicable federal laws addressing trafficking in persons, employment eligibility verification, and security prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment.

This acquisition carries no set-aside designation and represents an unrestricted procurement opportunity with a total award amount of $2.75 million. The NAICS code 111130 (Dry Pea and Bean Farming) appears to be inconsistent with the PSC code 1005 (Guns, Through 30Mm) and the stated procurement purpose of "Testing," suggesting possible data entry errors in the solicitation posting. The contract will be performed at the VA Academy in Frederick, Maryland, and payment will be made by electronic funds transfer in accordance with System for Award Management (SAM) procedures, with invoices submitted electronically per VAAR Clause 852.232-72. Specific item descriptions, quantities, unit prices, and delivery schedules are referenced on continuation pages not fully detailed in the primary solicitation document.
