760-26-2-060-0423 SHAWNEE SAP MAILERS

The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting market research through a sources-sought notice for two types of poly mailers—Sprint Sidepouch (13x11.5", 2.5mil, 1,350 per case) and Autobag 550 (12x14", 2.5mil, 1,400 per case)—with delivery expected in Shawnee, Kansas. This notice, identified as solicitation number 36C77026Q0133 and titled “760-26-2-060-0423 SHAWNEE SAP MAILERS,” is not a solicitation for bids or proposals and does not obligate the government to award a contract. Instead, it seeks information from vendors to assess market capability and inform potential future procurement decisions. Responses must include manufacturer or distributor status, authorization letters from original equipment manufacturers if applicable, product part numbers, business size certification (with preference given to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses), SAM Unique Entity ID, manufacturing location, lead time, and GSA Schedule availability. The point of contact for submissions is Kayla Powers, who can be reached via email at Kayla.Powers@va.gov, with all responses required by May 25, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time. No formal evaluation factors, award criteria, contract clauses, pricing information, or binding requirements are included, and no contract award is anticipated from this notice. The place of performance is Shawnee, Kansas, while the contracting office is located in Leavenworth, Kansas. Vendors must provide manufacturer product numbers such as 1394835, 101206555, and 101298706, and indicate compatibility with specific packaging machines, though no inspection standards, packaging specifications beyond case quantities, barcoding requirements, or military standards are defined. The notice does not reference any FAR clauses, delivery terms like FOB, or invoicing methods, and no payment or accounting details beyond the contracting office address are provided. The six-month reference noted in the subject line is unexplained and does not establish a contract period. Responses must be submitted via email without restrictions on file format or size, and no formal proposal structure or page limits are mandated.
