About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System is conducting market research through a sources sought announcement for window treatment and covering services across multiple VA facilities in Southern California. The procurement seeks a contractor capable of providing comprehensive services including site verification, assessment, measurement, material procurement, transportation, and installation of window treatments at various VA locations. Interested businesses must submit written responses by April 4, 2025, at 10:00 AM PST, with specific requirements including providing company details, business size status, NAICS code compliance, existing federal contract information, general pricing, and a capability statement. The VA mandates that respondents be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and potential Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses must also be registered in the VetBiz Registry. Evaluation will focus on businesses' ability to meet specific window treatment specifications, including 1" horizontal blinds in Alabaster, roller shades, breakaway draperies, and custom track installations.

The VA is primarily considering a total set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses under NAICS code 337920, which allows for businesses with up to 1,000 employees. If insufficient responses are received from service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, the procurement may shift to an alternate set-aside or full and open competition. The services will be implemented across eleven VA facilities, including the West Los Angeles Facility, Downtown LA Ambulatory Care Center, and several community-based clinics throughout Southern California. No subcontracting opportunities are anticipated, and while this sources sought announcement does not guarantee a solicitation or contract, it represents a preliminary market research effort to understand potential contractor capabilities. Prospective bidders must be authorized resellers and prepared to provide standard window treatments including horizontal blinds, skylight blinds, roller shades, and specialized breakaway draperies for behavioral health facilities.
