AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking market research for a one-year veterinary services contract at the VA San Diego Healthcare System, located at 3350 La Jolla Village Drive, San Diego, CA 92161, with a performance period from June 29, 2026, to June 28, 2027. This sources-sought announcement, solicitation number 36C26226Q0792, is specifically designated as a Veteran Set-Aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, with the intent to prioritize qualified veteran-owned entities, though the government may open competition to all sources if insufficient responsive offers are received. The contract requires comprehensive veterinary oversight of animal care and use programs, including delivery of 24/7 on-call emergency services, quarterly on-site visits (with monthly preferred), review and approval of standard operating procedures within three business days, participation in IACUC committees, training of research personnel, and strict adherence to federal and institutional standards such as the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, 9 CFR Chapter 1, PHS Policy, and VHA Handbook 1200.07. The Attending Veterinarian must be ACLAM-board certified, licensed to practice in California, a resident of San Diego County, and approved by the Chief Veterinary Medical Officer in Washington, D.C., with no access to Protected Health Information and no employee status with the Department of Veterans Affairs. The contracting office, 262-NETWORK Contract Office 22, located in Mesa, Arizona, requires all responses to include the company name, address, point of contact, DUNS number, CAGE Code, tax ID, small business status certification, and a capability statement demonstrating technical expertise, and submissions must be emailed exclusively to jessica.brooks3@va.gov by 4:00 p.m. MST on May 13, 2026, with a clear subject line identifying the Contract Specialist. No contract value is specified, as this is a pre-solicitation notice, and no formal contracting clauses, evaluation factors, payment details, or packaging requirements are included in this announcement; compliance is aligned with civilian biomedical research standards rather than military logistics or defense supply chain protocols.
