Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically VISN 22, is conducting a Sources Sought/Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential qualified sources for custom surgical packs.

The VA seeks to understand industry capabilities, socioeconomic status, and size classification of vendors capable of supplying these packs to the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System and VA Long Beach Healthcare System. Responses are due by March 29, 2026, at 10:00 AM PT.
