Community Engagement Strategy and Outreach Implementation

The contract seeks to develop and implement a community outreach strategy focused on engaging veteran populations through direct, on-the-ground initiatives designed to identify and address barriers to accessing vital services. Key activities include organizing and managing “Boots on the Ground” efforts that involve in-person interactions within veteran communities to collect feedback, understand challenges, and build trust through consistent, localized presence. The work requires a deep understanding of veteran needs, strong community relations skills, and the ability to coordinate field operations effectively across diverse geographic areas. This subcontract, issued under NAICS code 812320 by the Department of Veterans Affairs through the 261-NETWORK Contract Office 21, is open for responses until July 20, 2026. While specific performance locations and points of contact are not provided, the scope demands a flexible, responsive approach capable of adapting to the unique conditions of veteran communities nationwide. Success will depend on the contractor’s ability to deliver meaningful engagement outcomes, ensure data-driven insights are gathered and reported, and maintain alignment with VA objectives to improve service accessibility for veterans.
