Respondents are requested to submit information including company size, veteran ownership status, contact details, and capability statements by June 17, 2020. The purpose of gathering this information is for the VA to ensure there are at least two or more eligible veteran-owned small businesses capable of providing the services at a fair and reasonable price that represents the best value to the government. Firms are reminded that responses to this notice do not equate to participation in any future solicitation, which will be issued separately if the procurement moves forward.

All responses and inquiries are to be directed via email to the contracting specialist, Fernando Defillo, with phone inquiries discouraged to streamline the process.
