The Department of Veterans Affairs seeks market research and planning assistance through a Sources Sought Announcement. The VA aims to identify small businesses, particularly Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) or Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), capable of providing expert consultation and support in primary care for high-risk veterans.
The selected contractor will work closely with the Director of the PACT Intensive Management National Evaluation Center (PIM NEC) and the VA Greater Los Angeles Health Services Research and Development (HSR&D) Center of Innovation. The key tasks involve participating in phone meetings for strategic planning and providing revisions for two manuscripts on productivity outcomes related to high-risk veteran care. The contractor will serve as a co-author on these manuscripts, aiming for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Interested businesses should respond to the Announcement by providing company information, contact details, and a capability statement outlining their qualifications and experience. SDVOSB/VOSB respondents are asked to provide proof of certification and acknowledge the limitations on subcontracting. The VA encourages businesses to highlight their relevant experience and provide examples of similar work.
This opportunity is a Total Small Business Set-Aside, with an estimated value of $150,000 or more. Businesses interested in applying should ensure they are registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database.
The VA plans to use this market research to inform its acquisition decisions and may issue a subsequent solicitation. For clarification or further details, interested parties can contact Alfreda Hunter by phone or email. The deadline for responses is August 9, 2024.
