How to respond to the VA’s North Campus Security Staffing notice
What the VA is researching
The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting market research on vendors able to provide unarmed security guard services at the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System in Los Angeles, California. The notice describes a period of performance from May 1, 2026, to April 30, 2027.
This is a sources-sought notice, not a request for bids, proposals, or quotes. The VA is gathering information about qualified vendors and considering whether to set aside a future acquisition for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses.
Deadline and what happens next
Responses must be received by 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time on October 30, 2026. The notice also lists 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time as the deadline.
After reviewing responses, the VA intends to proceed with the acquisition, and a later solicitation may be published. Responding to this notice does not guarantee a solicitation or contract award, and the VA will not reimburse response costs.
Who this opportunity suits
This notice is relevant to firms with experience and technical expertise in unarmed security guard services. The listed NAICS code is 561612, Security Guards and Patrol Services; the PSC is S206, Housekeeping Guard.
The VA is seeking information from qualified vendors, including service-disabled veteran-owned and veteran-owned small businesses. It states that no subcontracting opportunity is anticipated.
How to respond
Email your written response to [email protected] by the stated deadline. Include your company name and address, point of contact, phone, fax and email, SAM UEI, CAGE code, tax identification number, and business size and type.

Prepare a clear capability statement
Use the capability statement to show relevant security-services experience and technical expertise in enough detail for the VA to assess your qualifications. Keep the information specific and support claims with concise examples of comparable work.
Check that every requested company detail is included, that your contact information is current, and that the email reaches the VA before the deadline. Treat this as market research, not as a price proposal or a commitment to award a contract.
