R499--Small Business Event | CFM 1st Quarter Virtual 1 on 1 Session | Cisco Webex Oct 22 | Amendment 4

The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization is hosting a virtual business networking event focused on the Office of Construction and Facilities Management's upcoming contracting opportunities. This pre-solicitation informational session will be held on Wednesday, October 22, from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET via Cisco Webex, targeting multiple North American Industry Classification System codes including General Construction (236220), Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (237990), Architectural Services (541310), Engineering Services (541330), and Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services (541360). The event aims to provide participants with outlines of future business opportunities and facilitate one-on-one meetings with VA procurement officials. Registration is required through https://www.vetbiz.va.gov/events, with a registration deadline of October 21, 2025 at 12:00 PM ET. This notice explicitly states it is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation, with no proposals or offers being accepted at this time.

This opportunity does not specify any set-aside designation, though the event particularly encourages participation from Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business enterprises, with all small businesses invited to participate. No incumbent contractors or potential award values are mentioned in the documentation, as this is purely an informational networking session rather than an active procurement. The event capacity is limited, operating on a first-come, first-served registration basis. The virtual format allows for scheduled one-on-one meetings throughout the 7.5-hour session, providing structured networking opportunities for businesses interested in future VA construction and facilities management contracts. Multiple amendments have been issued to expand the reach of the announcement by adding additional NAICS codes to overcome functional limitations in the SAM.gov system.
