The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 is seeking market research responses for Reverse Osmosis/De-ionization (RO/DI) water treatment system maintenance services at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System.

No incumbent contractor or specific budget range has been identified in this Sources Sought Notice. Interested vendors should ensure their System for Award Management (SAM) registration reflects NAICS Code 221310 and should prepare capability statements that address subcontracting percentages and organizational details. The government reserves the right to cancel this requirement at its discretion, and responses to this Sources Sought Notice will not constitute an adequate reply to any future formal solicitation.
