The place of performance is the Long Beach VA Healthcare System and Tibor Rubin VA Medical Center in Long Beach, California, where final software validation and acceptance will occur.

The government is assessing potential for a set-aside to small or veteran-owned businesses based on market research findings. No pricing, contract value, delivery terms, or payment instructions are included, as this notice precedes any formal procurement. All submitted information will be safeguarded against unauthorized disclosure, and no formal contract clause, evaluation factors, or administrative data are present at this stage, consistent with the pre-solicitation nature of the request.
