Federal Contracting & Small Business Compliance Advisory

The contract seeks advisory services to assist manufacturers and distributors in navigating federal contracting requirements related to small business status, NAICS code alignment, and eligibility for specialized certifications including Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Veteran-Owned Small Business, HUBZone, and Women-Owned Small Business programs. It also requires guidance on subcontracting compliance to ensure adherence to federal regulations and reporting obligations. The work is tied to NAICS code 541611, which covers management consulting services, indicating the focus is on strategic and regulatory advisory rather than direct manufacturing or distribution. The contract is issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs through the 262-NETWORK Contract Office 22, with performance expected to occur in Loma Linda, California, ZIP 92357. It was posted on July 31, 2026, and responses are due by August 10, 2026. The contract type is classified as a subcontract, suggesting the advisory services will support a prime contractor or another entity engaged in federal procurement. There is no specified set-aside designation, meaning the opportunity is open to all eligible small businesses regardless of certification status, though expertise in veteran-owned and other minority-owned business programs is essential to meet the requirements.
