Cancellation: software tracking solution for implant and tissue biological and non-biological items

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 issued a cancellation notice on February 9, 2026, for procurement 36C24126Q0029-2 related to a Software Tracking Solution for Implant and Tissue Biological and Non-Biological Items. This special notice announces the complete termination of the original sources sought notice for this requirement. The cancellation notice clarifies that it is not a request for proposal and explicitly directs interested parties not to submit pricing information, as the government will not reimburse any costs associated with responses to this notice. Instead of proceeding with the traditional sources sought process, the VA has decided to pursue an alternative procurement strategy. Contractors seeking additional information about this decision may contact Pearl Wray, Contract Specialist, at pearl.wray@va.gov.

Rather than awarding a contract through the sources sought process, the VA intends to award a National Contract or Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to fulfill the software tracking solution requirement. This shift in procurement approach indicates the agency's preference for establishing a broader, longer-term agreement rather than a single competitive solicitation. The software tracking solution is intended to support the tracking of implant and tissue biological and non-biological items within the VA system. No specific eligibility criteria, response deadlines, or detailed technical requirements are outlined in this cancellation notice, as the procurement strategy has been fundamentally revised. Interested vendors should monitor for future announcements regarding the National Contract or BPA opportunity, or contact the listed contract specialist for clarification on the revised procurement timeline and approach.
