How to respond to the VA’s LP Evaluator subscription market research notice
What the VA is researching
The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the Veterans Health Administration’s Network Contracting Office 16, is conducting market research on LP Evaluator subscriptions. The notice lists North American Industry Classification System code 513210, Software Publishers, and product service code DA10.
This is a sources-sought notice for planning and market research, not a contract opportunity or request for bids. The VA says it has no obligation to buy the products or services described, and no funds have been authorized, appropriated, or received for this effort.
Deadline and what it means
The response deadline is October 30, 2026, at 11:00 AM ET. The notice does not provide a later bid or award deadline.
A response will be treated only as information for the government to consider. The notice says responses do not create an entitlement to payment for direct or indirect costs, and it is not authority to begin negotiations or award a contract.
Who may find this relevant
This notice is most relevant to software publishers and vendors familiar with LP Evaluator subscriptions. The listed NAICS code is 513210, Software Publishers, with a stated size standard of $47 million.
Because this is market research rather than a procurement, responding is a way to provide information for government planning, not to compete for a stated contract award.

Prepare a clear, careful response
Keep any response focused on the LP Evaluator subscriptions and your relevant capabilities. Follow the notice’s instructions for submitting information; do not treat the response as a price quote or proposal unless a later solicitation requests one.
The VA makes no promise to pay for submitted information. If your response contains proprietary, restricted, or competition-sensitive material, mark it adequately, as the notice directs.
