About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 awarded a $4,994,652.70 service-disabled veteran-owned small business sole source contract to PDS CONSULTANTS, INC on August 10, 2026, for the VISN 8 Eyeglass Bridge program.
The contract, numbered 36C24826D0047, covers prescription eyeglass manufacturing and optician services under a fixed-price indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity structure. Performance runs from September 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, encompassing approximately 64,444 estimated orders across seven VA facilities within VISN 8 (North Florida/South Georgia, West Palm Beach, Caribbean, Tampa, Bay Pines, Orlando, and Miami VAHCSs). The scope includes manufacturing and delivery of dress and safety prescription eyeglasses with fitting services provided by licensed opticians. The award was made under 38 USC 8127(c) and VAAR 819.7008, permitting sole source procurement from verified SDVOSBs. PDS has served as incumbent contractor since at least 2017 and pricing remains unchanged from the current contract, determined fair and reasonable based on historical data. The bridge contract ensures continuity of care while VA develops a long-term national consolidated solution anticipated for completion in late 2026. Point of contact: Todd Pappas, todd.pappas@va.gov.
