R431--Amendment to Sources Sought to correct NAICS and PSC code 1 Year Headhunting for Clinical Staffing Gastroenterologist and Cardiologist

The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting preliminary market research through a sources sought announcement to identify qualified vendors capable of providing headhunting services specifically for Gastroenterologist and Cardiologist positions at the Sacramento VAMC in Mather, California. The agency seeks to fill three non-supervisory clinical vacancies with a focus on securing qualified candidates for these critical roles, with payment to contractors contingent upon successful hires. This initiative falls under NAICS code 621111 with a small business size standard of $16 million, and the Government will use responses to inform future procurement strategies without any obligation to award a contract. All submissions must include detailed company information including socioeconomic status, SAM registration, Unique Entity ID, primary contact details, capability statements, relevant experience, similar past projects, subcontracting plans, and a completed price estimate for each position. Interested parties must submit comprehensive responses by 10:00 a.m. PST on July 16, 2026, to Lydia Anderson at Lydia.anderson@va.gov, ensuring full compliance with all requested elements to avoid being deemed non-responsive. Small businesses, including SDVOSBs and VOSBs, must be registered in SAM and, if applicable, verified by the Small Business Administration. Contractors must disclose the percentage of work to be performed by their own personnel versus subcontractors, adhering to the FAR limitations on subcontracting requiring at least 50 percent of personnel costs to go to the prime contractor’s employees. The Government will not compensate respondents for information provided and will use all submissions internally to assess market capability and determine the best path forward for future procurement activities. A draft Performance Work Statement is attached for reference, but no solicitation exists at this time.
