The National Cemetery Administration, under the Department of Veterans Affairs and through its Office of Small & Disadvantaged Business Utilization, is conducting a virtual industry day on June 10, 2026, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. EST as a pre-solicitation market research effort to identify qualified small businesses, particularly Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, for potential future contracting opportunities in grounds maintenance and related services. The event, hosted via Cisco Webex, is designed to provide participants with an outline of upcoming business opportunities aligned primarily with NAICS code 561730 (Landscaping Services), with additional consideration for related codes such as 238120 and 238910. Registration is mandatory and must be completed by June 9, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time through the VetBiz.gov portal, and no proposals, offers, or unsolicited submissions will be accepted in response to this notice. This is strictly an informational event to gather industry feedback and assess capabilities prior to any formal solicitation, and no contract award, value, or binding requirements are established at this stage. While the contracting office is located in Washington, DC, with point of contact information provided for registration inquiries, no performance locations, delivery schedules, evaluation factors, contract clauses, or formal specifications have been defined, and no certifications from offerors were collected, as participation is limited to attendance and industry engagement only.
