DA01--Small Business Event | Verizon Public Sector Virtual Business Opportunity Session | Cisco Webex Aug 26 | Amendment 4

The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization is hosting a virtual business opportunity session in partnership with Verizon Public Sector to identify potential small business partners across multiple telecommunications and IT service sectors. The informational event is scheduled for Tuesday, August 26, 2025, from 2:00-3:00 PM EST via Cisco Webex and targets businesses operating under various NAICS codes including satellite telecommunications (517410), custom computer programming services (541511), and related telecommunications sectors. The session aims to establish relationships with Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), and other small businesses with capabilities in wireless and wireline networks, customer/veteran experience, wireless connectivity, and physical security solutions. Registration is required through the VetBiz website at https://www.vetbiz.va.gov/events with a registration deadline of August 25, 2025. The event is purely informational and does not constitute a formal solicitation, with no proposals or offers being accepted at this time.

This pre-solicitation notice does not specify any particular set-aside designation, though it clearly targets veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses as preferred participants. Verizon Public Sector is identified as the primary industry partner collaborating with the VA's Direct Access Program to conduct this business opportunity session. No specific contract values, budget ranges, or award amounts are disclosed in the documentation, as this is an early-stage market research and relationship-building initiative. The notice has been amended four times to expand the targeted NAICS codes and overcome functional limitations of SAM.gov, indicating the government's intent to cast a wide net for potential business partners. The event represents a one-hour session focused on presenting business opportunity outlines and related details to interested small businesses. Future amendments may target additional related NAICS codes to further expand the scope of potential partnerships.
