Cranial prosthesis and services

The Department of Veterans Affairs' Washington DC VA Medical Center is seeking multiple vendors to provide cranial prostheses and fitting services for eligible veterans through a multi-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The solicitation requires vendors to supply both human hair and synthetic cranial prostheses up to 18 inches in length with various color and texture options, along with professional fitting and measuring services. Prospective contractors must hold current cosmetology licenses in Maryland, DC, or Virginia and demonstrate specialized training in hair and scalp disorders. The evaluation criteria include licensure and professional qualifications, facility capabilities that support veteran privacy and dignity, product range offerings, and an oral presentation demonstrating fitting and styling processes. The submission deadline is January 9, 2026, at 2:00 pm EST, with contract award anticipated on January 19, 2026, and the contract period running from January 19, 2026, through January 18, 2031, including a base year and four one-year option periods.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. The contract structure establishes a minimum order of $5,000 per contractor with a maximum combined order ceiling of $1,800,000 across all awarded contractors, providing a defined budget range for the effort. The performance location is Washington, DC 20422, where vendors must maintain facilities capable of delivering services to the veteran population. The contract term spans five years with the potential for significant volume through the IDIQ structure, making this a substantial opportunity for qualified small business vendors specializing in prosthetic services. The VA has indicated a large eligible veteran population requiring these specialized services, suggesting consistent demand throughout the contract performance period.
