The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 (VA VISN 4) is issuing a pre-solicitation notice for a 5-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Butler Dairy Products. The procurement will focus on fluid milk manufacturing under NAICS code 311511 and Product Service Code (PSC) 8910. The solicitation, identified as 36C24425Q0304, is scheduled to be released with responses due by February 28, 2025, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, interested vendors should prepare comprehensive proposals that demonstrate their capability to provide dairy products to VA facilities within VISN 4's jurisdiction. The primary point of contact for this opportunity is Benjamin Villasenor, who can be reached via email at Benjamin.Villasenor@va.gov.

The contract is designated as a total small business set-aside, meaning only small businesses qualifying under the Fluid Milk Manufacturing NAICS category can compete for this procurement. The notice indicates the contract will be archived 30 days after the response date, suggesting a structured timeline for vendor engagement. Although specific award values or precise quantity requirements are not explicitly stated, the 5-year IDIQ structure implies potential for multiple task orders and significant ongoing dairy product supply. This procurement appears to be part of the VA's strategic sourcing approach for essential food supplies across Veterans Integrated Service Network 4's healthcare facilities. Potential vendors should carefully review the full solicitation documentation when released and ensure they meet all small business qualifications and technical capabilities required for supplying dairy products to VA healthcare installations.
