No solicitation documents exist at this time. The Department of Veterans Affairs is neither seeking proposals nor accepting unsolicited proposals, and responses to this Sources Sought Notice cannot be accepted as offers. Any information the vendor considers proprietary should be clearly marked as such.

As part of a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) acquisition project team, I am researching product information for the subject item. This is not a formal request for quotation, but research aimed to identify suppliers. If the government decides to solicit offers, it will come from the contracting office.
