The procurement seeks a DirectTV service provider to supply TV programming compatible with existing DirectTV equipment across multiple VA facilities. Offerors must submit a completed SF 1449, price proposal, proof of DirectTV authorization, and small business verification documentation. The contract will be awarded on a low-price, technically acceptable basis, with winners evaluated primarily on cost while meeting minimum technical specifications for service delivery. The offer deadline is December 19, 2025, at 3:00 PM Pacific Standard Time, with submissions directed to contracting officer Peter Park at peter.park2@va.gov, and this RFQ constitutes the only solicitation document.

The contract encompasses television service for 300 TV locations at the Seattle Campus and 150 TV locations at the American Lake Campus, plus two smaller facilities, requiring both Basic Tier and Extended Tier service packages with 50-100 channels as specified in the solicitation. The contract structure includes a base year running from February 1, 2026, through January 31, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal periods extending through January 31, 2031.
