How to bid on VA Loan Servicing and REO for the Department of Veterans Affairs
What the VA is buying and why it matters to vendors
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is hosting an in-person Industry Day to discuss its needs for VA loan servicing and real estate owned (REO) services. This event is an opportunity for businesses to learn directly from the VA about these programs and to provide feedback.
For vendors, this is a chance to understand future contracting opportunities related to managing VA loans and properties. It helps you prepare for potential solicitations by gaining insight into the VA's requirements and priorities.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The deadline to register for this Industry Day is August 7, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST. Registration may close sooner if the maximum capacity of 90 attendees is reached.
The Industry Day itself will take place on August 12, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM EST, with briefings on loan servicing and REO. A reverse Industry Day is scheduled for August 13, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM EST. Confirmation emails with arrival instructions will be sent on August 7, 2026.
Who this opportunity suits
This event is suitable for firms registered in SAM.gov that specialize in loan servicing or real estate owned (REO) services. Companies with experience in managing mortgage portfolios, property management, or related financial services for government agencies would find this particularly relevant.
It is also for businesses interested in understanding the VA's specific needs in these areas, even if they are new to government contracting, as it provides a direct channel for information and feedback.
How to respond and attend

Pre-approval is required, and attendance is limited to two attendees per firm. You can also indicate interest in a 10-minute reverse industry day briefing slot on your registration form; these slots are first come, first served. Registration does not guarantee a seat.
Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
While this is an informational event and not a request for proposals, attending an Industry Day is a valuable step. Use this opportunity to listen carefully to the VA's challenges and priorities in loan servicing and REO. This insight will be crucial for tailoring future proposals.
If you secure a reverse industry day slot, prepare a concise and impactful presentation. Focus on how your firm's capabilities directly address potential VA needs, rather than just listing services. Network with other attendees and VA representatives to build connections that could be beneficial for future partnerships or subcontracts.
