Small Business & Socioeconomic Participation

The contract invites small, veteran-owned, women-owned, and HUBZone businesses to pursue subcontracting opportunities with a prime awardee that is a large business, specifically in the areas of manufacturing, software development, or logistics. These opportunities are tied to a NAICS code 339115, which corresponds to the manufacturing of surgical and medical instruments and appliances, indicating the nature of the goods or services being procured. The prime contractor, associated with the Department of Veterans Affairs through its 242-NETWORK Contract Office 02, is expected to fulfill obligations with performance activities centered in Northport, New York, under the zip code 11768. Participation is designed to promote socioeconomic diversity by ensuring small disadvantaged businesses have access to federal contracting work through subcontracting pathways. The solicitation is open for responses until August 7, 2026, at 8:00 PM Eastern Time, following a posting date of July 23, 2026. The contract type is explicitly listed as a subcontract, meaning eligible businesses will enter into agreements with the prime contractor rather than directly with the government. While no specific set-aside designation is provided, the structure emphasizes affirmative outreach to underserved business categories under federal socioeconomic goals.
