6540--National Prescription Eyeglasses Manufacturing Department of Veterans Affairs

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing an Intent to Consolidate notice (Solicitation 36C24126R0001) for National Prescription Eyeglasses Manufacturing. The VA will award multiple indefinite‑delivery, indefinite‑quantity (IDIQ) contracts—each with a ceiling of $2 billion—to qualified Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) under NAICS 339115 (Ophthalmic Goods Manufacturing). The consolidation will standardize frame‑kit specifications, ordering processes, and electronic invoicing (via Tungsten and 1358 purchase orders), eliminate GPC use, and exclude optician services to avoid conflicts of interest. Market research confirms at least two SDVOSBs can meet the requirement, satisfying the VA Rule of Two for a set‑aside. Contracting Office: VA Network Contracting Office 1, Augusta, ME 04330. Points of contact: Contract Specialist Jeremy J. Boston (Jeremy.Boston@va.gov) and Contracting Officer Jeremy J. Parker (Jeremy.Parker2@va.gov). All correspondence must reference solicitation 36C24126R0001. The award will provide a national‑level contract framework with subsequent VISN or regional delivery orders, ensuring consistent veteran care across the VA system.
