Small Business Subcontracting Participation (DBE/MBE/WBE)The contract opportunity enables small businesses owned by disadvantaged, minority, women, or veteran entrepreneurs to engage in subcontracting roles within the supply chain, specifically in areas such as logistics, packaging, and component supply. Targeted at businesses classified as DBE, MBE, or WBE, this initiative supports broader federal goals of increasing inclusion and economic growth among underrepresented business owners. The solicitation is tied to the NAICS code 484220, which corresponds to general freight trucking, indicating that transportation and distribution services are central to the scope of work. Performance will be centered at Hill Air Force Base with the zip code 84056-5734, and the contracting activity falls under the ASC Commodities Division within the Department of Defense. Interested parties must submit their responses by the deadline of August 13, 2026, with the opportunity posted on August 5, 2026.

AJ11--(Late) Research Services - ID Neuroimaging Biomarkers for Brain Connectivity - BRONX | EDA: 9/25/26
Solicitation # 36C24E26R0022
The Department of Veterans Affairs, James J. Peters VA Medical Center, intends to award a sole-source contract to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) for specialized research services focused on identifying neuroimaging biomarkers for brain connectivity, in support of an ongoing VA Merit Award. This action is justified under 41 U.S.C. §3304(a)(3) and FAR 6.103-3, as NJIT is the only entity with the unique, four-year-developed expertise, proprietary datasets, and validated methodologies essential to the research's continuity and scientific integrity. NJIT’s world-class proficiency in fNIRS-based brain connectivity research, backed by multiple peer-reviewed publications and sustained collaboration with VA investigators, cannot be replicated by other institutions, even those with fNIRS capabilities, due to the absence of proximity, shared data infrastructure, and proven technical proficiency. Any other source would introduce unacceptable delays or compromise the research outcomes. The solicitation number is 36C24E26R0022, with a posted date of August 5, 2026, and a deadline for capability statements of August 10, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST. While this is a notice of intent and not a competitive solicitation, any responsible source believing it can meet the requirement may submit a capability statement to Lynn Portman at lynn.portman@va.gov by the deadline; telephone responses are not accepted. The NAICS code is 541715, and the contracting office is located in Pittsburgh, PA, under the Rpo East (36C24E) organization. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to proceed without competition, and no further opportunities for bid submission will be provided.

AN41--Research Services Neural Stem Cell Study for Spinal Cord Injury Pre-solicitation Notice with Intent to Sole Source
Solicitation # 36C24E26R0021
The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole source contract to Pharmaron (San Diego) Lab Services LLC for a one-year period to conduct an In vivo GLP study evaluating the safety, toxicity, and biodistribution of grafting a GMP H9 scNSC Working Cell Bank into athymic rats with spinal cord injury. The vendor will be responsible for the full execution of the study in strict compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 58, including master protocol development, animal procurement, surgical and post-surgical care, animal perfusion, and generation of a final GLP-compliant report. The study requires rats to be injured, grafted with neural stem cells or controls, and sacrificed at 1, 3, or 9 months post-graft, with time-sensitive, hand-delivered stem cells transported on ice from the VA San Diego Medical Center, necessitating the vendor’s physical proximity to maintain scientific integrity. Pharmaron is designated as the only capable provider due to its unique integration of specialized expertise in neural stem cell therapies, proximity to the VA San Diego facility, and ability to deliver the entire suite of required GLP services under one framework, which no other vendor can match within the required timeline. This sole source procurement is justified under RFO 6.103-1, as no other source can satisfy the agency's critical needs to support regulatory submissions and clinical translation of therapies for spinal cord injury—a condition disproportionately impacting Veterans. The contract falls under NAICS code 541380 with a $19 million size standard and PSC AN41. Interested parties may submit inquiries via email to Ann Marie Stewart, Contracting Officer, until August 10, 2026, though the decision to pursue competition remains at the sole discretion of the VA.
