The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) plans a nationwide multiple-award, firm-fixed-price (one set price) indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) design-build and construction contract for healthcare facility construction, renovation and repair at VA medical centers.

It has an unrestricted component and a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside component, with total capacity of $7,500,000,000.

Things to watch (4)
- Serious: SDVOSB set-aside component. Part of the awards are reserved for SDVOSBs, and only firms with that status can compete for that part; the other component is unrestricted.
- Worth checking: Date passed (Oct 30, 2026): Solicitation not yet released. No proposals are accepted now; the formal request for proposals is expected on or about October 30, 2026, and actual dates will be confirmed in it.
- Worth checking: Davis-Bacon wages likely apply. Federal construction over $2,000 in the U.S. pays at least the Davis-Bacon wage rates in the wage determination attached to the solicitation. This summary doesn't name one: find it on SAM.gov and price your labor from it.

- Minor: Very large, nationwide program. A $7.5 billion capacity across the country means large competitors and broad capability and bonding expectations may apply, though the notice gives no bonding terms.
