AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, through the NETWORK Contract Office 02 in Albany, NY, is issuing a Sources Sought notice to gather market information regarding USP-compliant certification services for sterile compounding pharmacy areas and annual BSC/fume hood recertifications at the Albany (Stratton) VA Medical Center. This notice is purely for market research and does not constitute a solicitation for proposals or an intent to award a contract; responses will not be treated as offers and will not be compensated. The requirement is classified under NAICS code 541380 and aims to identify capable contractors, especially small businesses, to support the delivery of these critical services within 60 days of contract award. Interested parties must submit a capability statement, proof of past performance, SAM UEID, point of contact details, and socio-economic status documentation by 10:00 a.m. EST on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, to Cara Grittner at Cara.grittner@va.gov using solicitation number 36C24226Q0765 in the subject line. Phone inquiries are not accepted. To assist the government in determining whether to set aside this requirement for specific small business categories—such as service-disabled veteran-owned, veteran-owned, women-owned, HUB Zone, or 8(a) firms—respondents must clearly disclose their socio-economic designation and provide supporting certifications. Contractors must also disclose whether they intend to perform the work directly or subcontract any portion, specifying which tasks will be handled by the prime versus any subcontractors. Responses must include the number of similar projects completed in the past five years, the count of certified or licensed technicians currently employed, and details on any teaming agreements. All information marked as proprietary or confidential will be protected within the government and will not be disclosed externally except as required by law. The attached Statement of Work outlines the technical requirements but is not final and may be revised prior to any formal solicitation. Assistance with responding to this notice is available through the Apex Accelerator Team, which offers free guidance on government procurement matters.
