R422--Procurement Decision Maker (PDM) Facilitated Administration and Research Management (FARM) Support Service | Sources Sought | 36U10125Q0036 | Amendment 2

The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) is issuing a Sources‑Sought notice to conduct market research for a “Procurement Decision Maker (PDM) Facilitated Administration and Research Management (FARM) Support Service.” The effort will provide comprehensive market‑research and business‑management support—including early‑involvement initiatives, data‑collection and analytics, custom questionnaire development, and a suite of routine deliverables such as monthly contract‑award reports, daily market‑research email notifications, semi‑weekly payment reports, and quarterly performance reports. Each task includes defined frequency, estimated labor‑hour effort, and strict timeliness standards (e.g., most daily items must be completed within 4‑48 hours). Respondents must demonstrate expertise in relevant procurement data sources, list applicable labor categories and effort, identify any existing multiple‑award contracts (FSS, GWACs, VECTOR IDIQ) that could satisfy the requirement, and indicate the ability to assess market‑research sufficiency for set‑aside decisions within minutes, hours, or days. No price or technical proposals are to be submitted; only a completed questionnaire (Excel format) and optional capability statement are required, using the specified email naming convention and including point‑of‑contact information, NAICS code, certifications, and percentage of federal revenue. Unique aspects include the need to develop custom research questionnaires with complex conditional logic and to provide rapid, high‑volume data‑collection and reporting support for the VA OSDBU mission.
