About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 awarded a $4,994,652.70 contract to PDS Consultants, Inc. for prescription eyeglass manufacturing and optician fitting services on April 29, 2026.

Performance runs May 1 through August 31, 2026, covering an estimated 64,444 orders across seven VISN 8 facilities: Bay Pines, Miami, West Palm Beach, North Florida, San Juan, Tampa, and Orlando. Services include both dress and safety prescription eyeglasses with onsite optician fitting by licensed opticians, manufactured domestically to comply with Buy American Act requirements. The award was made under the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside pursuant to 38 U.S. Code Section 8127(c), which authorizes non-competitive awards to verified SDVOSB concerns. This is a bridge contract (36C24826D0031) to maintain continuity while VA completes a separate national consolidated acquisition expected in late 2026. PDS is the incumbent, having provided these services since at least 2017 under the expiring contract.
