The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization is hosting a virtual small business event focused on construction and facilities management opportunities. The event, scheduled for Wednesday, July 16, 2025, from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET via Cisco Webex, will provide participants with outlines of business opportunities through one-on-one sessions with Dr. Zebulon Fox, Associate Executive Director for the Office of Facilities Acquisition. The event targets multiple NAICS codes including General Construction (236220), Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (237990), Architectural Services (541310), Engineering (541330), and Seismic Geophysical Surveying Services (541360). Interested businesses must register through the VetBiz website at https://www.vetbiz.va.gov/events by clicking the link for "4th Quarter FY2025 Office of Construction and Facilities Management Virtual Scheduled One on One Meetings." The registration deadline is July 15, 2025, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time, though this notice explicitly states it is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an actual solicitation.

While no specific set-aside designation is mentioned in the primary notice, the event specifically targets Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), 8(a) participants, Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDB), and HUBZone businesses. No incumbent contractors or current award values are specified in the documentation, as this is a pre-solicitation informational event rather than an active procurement. The event has limited capacity and early registration is recommended, with businesses able to contact the Event Planning Direct Access Program at DirectAccess@va.gov or 202-461-4694 for additional information. The notice has been amended four times to include additional NAICS codes, demonstrating the VA's effort to maximize outreach and overcome functional limitations in SAM.gov. This represents the 4th Quarter FY2025 initiative by the VA's Office of Construction and Facilities Management to engage with small businesses about upcoming opportunities.
