The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 15 is conducting market research for a project to right-size and renovate the Kitchen and Canteen areas within Building 1 at the John J. Pershing VA Medical Center in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. This initiative aims to consolidate food preparation operations into a single, efficient location adjacent to the hospital loading dock, improving supply logistics and reducing staff travel time, while repurposing the former canteen space into patient care areas. The effort is restricted to qualified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) under NAICS code 541330, with a size standard of $25.5 million in average annual receipts. Firms must be registered in SAM.gov and certified in the SBA’s VetCert database to be eligible. Responses are limited to a 10-page Capability Statement containing the firm’s contact information, statement of interest, up to three comparable project examples with customer feedback and dollar value, proof of CVE certification, socioeconomic status confirmation, and joint venture details if applicable. The submission deadline is July 31, 2026, at 2:00 PM Central Time, and responses must be emailed to Lucia Cowsert with a specific subject line; no telephone inquiries or cost reimbursements are permitted.

Finley as Contracting Officer and Lucia Cowsert as Contract Specialist, both located at the Network 15 office in Leavenworth, Kansas. Subcontracting is strictly limited under VAAR 852.219-75, requiring the prime contractor to ensure that no more than half of the contract value is paid to non-certified SDVOSBs, with written certification mandated upon award. The classification code C1DA applies, aligning the project with architectural and engineering services for hospitals and infirmaries.
