AI summary Beta

The VA's Network Contracting Office 7 is doing market research (a sources sought notice, not a solicitation) to find Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses for a future construction contract covering VA medical facilities in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. It would be a multiple-award contract (a pool of companies that then compete for individual task orders) running up to 5 years.

Watch out for

Conflicting response dates. SAM.gov and the notice body say December 10, 2026, but the attachment header says 12-10-2025 and the notice was posted in December 2025, so confirm the real deadline with the contracting officer. All interested firms are encouraged to reply by email to Elissa Goodman at elissa.goodman@va.gov by Wednesday, December 10, 2026, 2:00 PM (EST).
Bonding up to $20 million per task order. You must show you can get bonding up to the maximum task order amount, which is a high bar for a small construction firm. Verification of company's ability to provide bonding up to maximum task order amount.
SDVOSB only, with 85% self-performance rule. Only certified service-disabled veteran-owned firms can compete, and you must do at least 15% of general construction work yourself or with similarly situated firms.
Not a solicitation. This only gathers interest; the real solicitation is expected later (targeted for fiscal year 26) and no work is awarded from this notice. THIS NOTICE IS ISSUED SOLELY FOR INFORMATION AND PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION.
