9930--Sources Sought - Supply and Distribute Flat Bronze Markers Worldwide

The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration seeks to procure flat bronze markers for supply and distribution worldwide through a Sources Sought announcement. This is a market research initiative designed to identify qualified vendors before issuing a formal solicitation, with the government particularly interested in potential sources that are Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) or Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB). The contract will be structured as multiple indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) agreements, with vendors expected to demonstrate capabilities in producing and distributing flat bronze markers. Interested parties must respond by January 30, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST with company details, business size information, and evidence of their production and distribution capabilities. The response should be submitted via email to Weston Worsham, and the government will use these submissions to assess market availability and vendor qualifications.

This procurement falls under NAICS code 331529 (Other Nonferrous Metal Foundries) with a small business size standard of 500 employees and PSC code 9930 (Memorials; Cemeterial and Mortuary Equipment and Supplies). No set-aside designation has been applied at this time, though the VA has indicated it may establish a VOSB or SDVOSB set-aside if it identifies two or more eligible vendors capable of performing the work at fair and reasonable prices, pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127. The anticipated contract structure includes one base year with four one-year option periods. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, as this phase is intended solely for market research to inform future procurement strategy.
