Solicitation # 36C25927Q0017

Solicitation 36C25927Q0017 is a firm-fixed price contract set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) to provide a web-based package and mail tracking system for the Department of Veterans Affairs. The primary site of performance is the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center in Aurora, Colorado, specifically within the KS-100 SCMS Warehouse.

Technical support is required to align with warehouse operating hours of 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Award will be based on a comparative analysis of technical capability, price, and past performance, with a strict requirement that offerors be VetCert verified to be eligible for award.
