The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contract Office 23, is conducting a sources-sought market research initiative for the procurement of a skid steer loader to be delivered to the Black Hills Health Care System at Fort Meade, South Dakota. This is not a formal solicitation for award, and no contract will result from this announcement; its purpose is to gather information from potential vendors to inform future acquisition planning. Vendors are invited to respond by June 10, 2026, via email to theresa.thunder@va.gov, and only emailed submissions will be accepted. Respondents must provide their Unique Entity Identifier, specify their socio-economic category, and declare whether they are the manufacturer or an authorized distributor of the equipment, including the manufacturer's socio-economic status and proof of authorization. They must also complete the FAR 52.225-2(b) Country of Origin Certification, indicating if the product is a U.S. domestic end product, and disclose whether their supplies are available under any existing government contracts such as FSS or GSA.
