Description
Contractors interested in participating in this industry day must respond per this notice. This announcement is released by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Enterprise Procurement Office (EPO), inviting contractors interested in providing services to the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), Medical Disability Examination Office (MDEO). VA anticipates conducting a series of general MDEO Reverse Industry Days with the goal of promoting engagement and learning about industry ideas and capabilities related to MDEO’s mission and operational needs.
These events are to be general in nature, not in response to a specific MDEO requirement or upcoming contract action. VA anticipates other market research and/or industry days for specific new/recompete contract actions. The next General MDEO Reverse Industry Day is anticipated for December 2026 with future industry days planned at VA's discretion.
All MDEO Reverse Industry Days are being conducted for market research purposes only. VA will not discuss, accept questions or provide information regarding any open solicitation or active procurement, including procurements in evaluation, source selection or any other phase of the acquisition process, during these events. All procurement-specific inquiries must be directed separately through the official communication channels established by the contracting officer responsible for that procurement.
See attached Industry Day Notice for full details.
