The procurement seeks Cisco networking equipment, Dell workstations, cabling, SFP transceivers, and professional installation and support services necessary to establish a dedicated air-gapped connection from VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System Police Headquarters to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. This connection will enable law enforcement database queries, arrest processing, and regulatory compliance while maintaining security through physical isolation from the VA network. Prospective respondents must be classified under NAICS 513210 (Software Publishers) with a size standard of $47 million and must provide pricing information, business size certifications, manufacturer or distributor status, country of origin information, and detailed capability statements addressing product specifications. This RFI is issued for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a binding solicitation; however, respondents are encouraged to submit pricing and market information in accordance with FAR 15.201(e). The deadline for submitting responses is May 5, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, with responses to be sent via email to Anette.doan@va.gov.

This procurement carries no set-aside designations for small or disadvantaged businesses. The RFI specifies a one-time hardware purchase with recurring maintenance, updates, and repair services contracted for a 60-month period for certain components. No incumbent contractor or award value is identified in this sources sought notice, as the RFI is preliminary market research designed to inform future acquisition strategy rather than a formal solicitation. The requirement encompasses 47 line items including Cisco Catalyst C8200 routers, C9200L switches with various licenses and support services, Dell workstations, and associated infrastructure equipment. Responses received through this RFI will be used by the Government to make appropriate acquisition decisions, and a formal solicitation announcement may be published following the review of submitted market information.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), VISN 22 Network Contracting Office, is seeking sources that can provide the below requested items for Police CLETS.

The Veterans Affairs Police Service is an armed federal law enforcement and protective service entity that operates in and around the various Veterans Affairs Medical Centers, National Cemeteries, and other VA facilities. VA Police Officers have full police powers derived from statutory authority to enforce all federal laws, VA rules and regulations, and to make arrests on VA controlled property whether owned or leased in concurrent, exclusive, and/or proprietary jurisdictions. VA Police within the VA GLA HCS utilize a large assortment of tools to perform their duties, including GSA-leased vehicles, VA-networked software, radios, security cameras, VA-issued mobile devices, and law enforcement report writing and training software.

The VA GLA HCS requires a connection with Los Angeles County Sheriff s Department to query and make entries into law enforcement databases, process arrests, and meet regulatory requirements. It accomplished this through an authorized air-gapped system wherein its connections did not support any device connected to the VA network and devices connected to the external source had no connection to the VA network (This included physical connections; wireless, virtual local area networks (VLANS), etc).

This contract covers securing the internet service and hardware required to restore the dedicated air-gapped connection from the VA GLA HCS Police Headquarters to the Los Angeles Sheriff Department to restore mission critical systems associated with law enforcement databases and processing arrests.

Hardware shall be a one-time cost to purchase with recurring services to maintain, update, and/or repair.
