The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 has issued a pre-solicitation notice for software licensing, PIV remote access capabilities, professional services, and maintenance support for the VA San Diego Healthcare System. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and Product Service Code R499 (Support-Professional: Other), with the place of performance located at 3350 La Jolla Village Drive, San Diego, CA 92161. The contracting office is VA Network Contracting Office 22 (NCO 22) in Phoenix, AZ, with Felicia Simpson serving as the Contracting Officer and primary point of contact at FELICIA.SIMPSON@VA.GOV. The solicitation number is 36C26225Q1116, and interested vendors must submit their responses by July 14, 2025, at 10:00 AM Mountain Time. The government has not specified evaluation criteria in this pre-solicitation notice, as this appears to be an initial market research phase before the formal solicitation is released.

This opportunity is designated as a set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBC), restricting competition to qualified firms within this socioeconomic category. The pre-solicitation notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or current service providers for this requirement. No specific award values, budget ranges, or contract ceiling amounts have been disclosed in the available documentation. The timeline for service delivery and contract performance period have not been specified in this preliminary notice. Given the early stage of this procurement process, quantitative details regarding the scope of software licenses needed, number of users requiring PIV remote access, or the duration of professional services and maintenance support remain undisclosed. Additional details regarding contract value, performance requirements, and technical specifications are expected to be provided in the formal solicitation that will follow this pre-solicitation phase.
