L099--Sources Sought Notice – Onsite Inscription Services for Multiple Cemeteries

The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration is seeking qualified sources to provide onsite inscription services for headstones, markers, and niche covers at six national cemeteries located across South Carolina, Georgia, Minnesota, Florida, Missouri, and Virginia. The requirement calls for the establishment of multi-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts with a base year plus four one-year option periods. Vendors must demonstrate the capability to perform inscription services at multiple cemetery locations and meet federal contracting requirements. The VA is conducting market research to identify qualified contractors and has expressed a specific focus on identifying Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB) as potential sources. Interested vendors must submit their sources sought responses by January 29, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST to Weston Worsham via email, and the posting was made on January 15, 2026.

The procurement is classified under NAICS code 561990 (All Other Support Services) with a small business size standard of $16.5 million. No set-aside designation has been applied at this time; however, if the VA's market research confirms that two or more qualified SDVOSB or VOSB vendors can perform the work at fair and reasonable prices, the eventual solicitation may be set aside exclusively for veteran-owned businesses under 38 U.S.C. 8127. The sources sought notice does not specify anticipated contract values, award quantities, or total procurement budget ranges. The contract structure involves multiple awards across the six cemetery locations, allowing for potential distribution of work among several contractors. The base year plus four option years provides a five-year performance period, with the specific scope and volume of inscription services to be detailed in the formal solicitation that will follow this market research phase.
