Who can bid
- Limited competition: only current contract holders can bid, not every business that meets the set-aside.
- Hold a current contract for the equipment types listed with the VA NAC High Tech Medical Equipment Division, or with DLA Troop Support under which the NAC has been given ordering authority.
How to submit: Offers go to the NAC; how to send them is not stated in the text read. Questions and other contact go through the NAC Consolidation Coordinator, Teresa Rogofsky, Teresa.Rogofsky@va.gov.. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 21, 2026.
- Serious: Open only to current contract holders. A business without a current VA NAC High Tech Medical Equipment Division contract, or a DLA Troop Support contract the NAC can order from, cannot bid.
- Minor: No contact with requesting sites about selections. Vendors are asked not to contact the NAC or the requesting medical center about the status of selections, and all contact goes through one coordinator.
