Small Business / Socioeconomic Category Supplier (Set-Aside Opportunity)

This contract opportunity is designed to support small, disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, HUBZone, and 8(a)-certified businesses by allowing them to serve as prime contractors or subcontractors in future solicitations under a set-aside program. The NAICS code 325414 indicates the focus is on the manufacture of industrial inorganic chemicals, suggesting the work involves specialized chemical production or related supply chain services. The opportunity is managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs through the 242-NETWORK Contract Office 02, with responses required by June 29, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. This is specifically a subcontract opportunity, meaning the awarded entity will likely be engaged in supporting a larger contract rather than entering into a direct prime agreement. Eligible businesses must be certified under one of the specified socio-economic categories and can position themselves for future work without a formal solicitation currently open. The contract does not specify a location for performance, and no point of contact is listed, indicating this is a pre-qualification or registration mechanism rather than a live procurement. Businesses are encouraged to engage through the provided SAM.gov link to remain informed and eligible for upcoming opportunities.
