The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has issued a presolicitation for a potential five-year, $175 million indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to support biomedical engineering operations across its network of medical centers, outpatient clinics, and program offices.
Published March 5, 2026, on SAM.gov under Notice ID 36C10X26R0010, the solicitation—formally titled the National VHA Biomedical Engineering Technical Professional Support Services (BETPSS) IDIQ—is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 19.14.
