American College of Surgeons Accreditation Fee

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 is conducting market research to identify potential vendors capable of providing American College of Surgeons (ACS) accreditation services for the VA Medical Center in Washington, D.C., with a specific focus on the Commission on Cancer (CoC) program. This is a Sources Sought Notice (36C24526Q0227) designed to assess vendor capabilities rather than a formal solicitation, with responses due by 4:00 PM EDT on January 20, 2026. Interested vendors must submit detailed information including business credentials, socio-economic status, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number, capability statements, previous accreditation experience, GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract status, and approximate annual cost estimates. The VA emphasizes that this market research exercise does not constitute a formal Request for Quotation (RFQ) or guarantee of future contract award, and the government will not pay for submitted information or return any materials. Respondents should direct all proprietary information and capability statements to veronica.dillard@va.gov by the January 20, 2026 deadline.

This Pre-Solicitation Notice does not utilize any set-aside designations, and no current incumbents or contract values are identified in the available documentation. The Statement of Work details the scope of ACS accreditation services, including assistance with establishing cancer program structures, conducting external assessments, and providing a framework for three-year review cycles to achieve and maintain accredited status. The vendor will be responsible for supporting the hospital's use of Certified Tumor Registrars, facilitating access to the Rapid Cancer Reporting System (RCRS), and conducting site inspections at a fully-equipped facility in Washington, D.C. While specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation phase, vendors should provide cost estimates as part of their capability statement submissions. The NAICS code 813920 (Professional Organizations) and PSC code R420 (Support- Professional: Certifications And Accreditations) further define the nature of services being sought.
