R499--Small Business Event | Dun & Bradstreet Virtual Business Opportunity Session | Cisco Webex Apr 28

The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization is hosting an informational virtual business opportunity session to present upcoming contracting opportunities and identify small businesses with capabilities in business intelligence, master data management, data science, data analytics, and supply chain risk management. The event, scheduled for Tuesday, April 28, 2026, from 1:30 P.M. to 2:30 P.M. EST via Cisco Webex, targets small businesses operating in seven NAICS codes including administrative management consulting services, custom computer programming services, computer systems design services, web search portals and information services, and related technical consulting and computing infrastructure services. Key objectives include facilitating teaming partnerships between certified small businesses and larger prime contractors for VA subcontracting and prime opportunities, highlighting relevant business opportunities under VA SPRUCE IDIQ, T4NG, VA Supply Chain Modernization, and GSA SCRIPTS contracts, and supporting small business growth within the federal government. This is a pre-solicitation notice issued solely for information and planning purposes; it does not constitute a formal solicitation and unsolicited proposals will not be considered. Small businesses interested in attending must register by April 27, 2026, at 12:00 P.M. EST through https://www.vetbiz.va.gov/events, with inquiries directed to the Direct Access Program at DirectAccess@va.gov or 202-461-4694.

No set-aside designations are used for this informational event, though priority socioeconomic classifications include Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), with all other small business socioeconomic designations invited to participate. No incumbent contractor names, award values, or specific budget ranges are identified in this pre-solicitation notice. The event duration is one hour and does not involve the submission of proposals or formal responses; rather, it serves as an informational platform for the VA to outline upcoming business opportunities and establish connections with potential small business partners. Additional amendments may be issued to target other related NAICS codes beyond the seven initially specified. This notice represents an early-stage opportunity for small businesses to learn about forthcoming VA contract vehicles and identify potential teaming and prime contracting opportunities without immediate bid or proposal requirements.
