Prospective vendors must be either manufacturers or authorized distributors of Harloff or equivalent medical storage cabinet products and must demonstrate their capability through non-binding statements of interest and supporting documentation.

Responses should be submitted to Contract Specialist Bernadette Flores at Bernadette.Flores@va.gov by February 13, 2026, at 4:00 PM Pacific Time. It is important to note that responses to this Sources Sought Notice are non-binding and do not constitute adequate responses to any future formal solicitation; all interested offerors must respond to the official solicitation announcement to be eligible for contract award.
