How to bid on WILMAC Call Recording Extraction Service for Veterans Affairs
What the VA is buying and why it matters
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is planning to purchase call recording extraction services. This is a new requirement for the agency. This opportunity is important for small businesses because it will be solicited as a small business set-aside.
The VA's acquisition strategy involves using an existing government-wide contract, specifically NASA's SEWP V, to fulfill this need. This means vendors already on SEWP V will have a direct path to this opportunity.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This Request for Information (RFI) was published on August 07, 2026. The deadline for responses is September 03, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. It is crucial to submit your response before this time.
At the deadline, the VA will stop accepting submissions for this RFI. This RFI is for market research and planning purposes, so while it's not a direct solicitation for proposals, your response helps the VA shape its final acquisition.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for small businesses specializing in technology services, particularly those with expertise in call recording extraction or related data management services. Firms already holding a NASA SEWP V Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) are especially well-positioned.
The small business set-aside indicates the VA's intent to award this contract to a small business, making it a valuable target for eligible firms in the technology sector.
