How to bid on Acquisition Support Services for the Department of Veterans Affairs
What the VA is buying and why it matters
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), intends to award a sole-source contract for acquisition support services. These services will assist the VHA Program Contracting Activity (PCAC) with various contracting requirements.
This is a pre-solicitation notice for a planned direct award to Veterans Management Services Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). While the VA intends to buy from only this company, other businesses can submit a capability statement if they believe they can meet the requirement. The contract is expected to run for one year, starting September 29, 2025.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The notice was published on September 17, 2025. If you intend to submit a capability statement, it must be received by September 30, 2025, at 3:00 PM ET. This is not a request for quotes or proposals, and no contract will be awarded based on responses to this notice.
The government's decision on whether to compete the requirement based on submitted capability statements is entirely at their discretion. The anticipated period of performance for the contract is September 29, 2025, to September 28, 2026.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is primarily for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) that specialize in acquisition support services. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541611, which covers Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services, with a small business size standard of $24.5 million.
Firms that can provide various types of acquisition support services and meet the SDVOSB criteria may find this relevant, particularly if they believe they can fulfill the VHA's needs as effectively as the intended sole-source awardee.
How to respond
To respond, you must submit a capability statement via email to Joseph Senkovich at [email protected]. This must be done no later than September 30, 2025, at 3:00 PM ET.
No telephone or email inquiries will be accepted regarding this notice. Do not include any proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information in your response.
Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
When preparing your capability statement, clearly demonstrate your firm's ability to provide the specific acquisition support services required by the VHA. Focus on concrete examples of past performance that align with the scope of work.
Ensure your statement is concise and directly addresses how your company meets or exceeds the requirements. Highlight your experience with federal contracting, especially with the VA or similar agencies, and emphasize any relevant certifications or designations, such as SDVOSB status, if applicable.
