The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization is hosting a virtual business opportunity session focused on connecting small businesses with federal contracting opportunities. This pre-solicitation notice (36U10126Q0005) is classified under Product Service Code R499 (Support - Professional: Other) and encompasses multiple NAICS codes related to manufacturing, medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and related industries. The event, titled "RPO West NCO 19 Quarterly Virtual Business Opportunity Session," will be conducted via Cisco Webex on January 22, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The primary objective is to inform small businesses about Veterans Health Administration regional strategic priorities and available contracting opportunities. Interested parties must register by the response deadline of January 21, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time through the VA VetBiz website. The event is managed by the Event Planning Direct Access Program, with contact available at DirectAccess@va.gov or 202-461-4694 during business hours (Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM EST).

This opportunity is not designated as a set-aside, though it specifically targets Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), 8(a) participants, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, Women-Owned Small Businesses, and HUBZone-certified businesses. No incumbent contractor information or specific award values are provided in this pre-solicitation notice, as this is an informational business opportunity session rather than a formal competitive solicitation. The notice has been amended eight times since its original posting on December 16, 2025, with successive amendments adding NAICS codes including 325412, 334510, 339112, 423830, 423450, 561320, 621511, and 811210 to maximize reach and overcome SAM.gov functional limitations. Registration capacity is limited, making early registration advisable for interested small businesses seeking to learn about future contracting opportunities with the Veterans Health Administration.
