Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs issued a pre‑solicitation for Medical Emergency Alert Devices (MEAD) that was later cancelled due to changes in scope and specifications. The original intent was to procure neck pendants and wristband alert devices under a total Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set‑aside, with a base‑year plus up to four one‑year option periods (potentially five years total). No response is required at this time, but the agency may re‑issue the solicitation in the future.
• Intended product: medical‑grade emergency alert pendants and wristbands for veterans.
• Set‑aside: exclusive to SDVOSB firms; other vendors are ineligible.
• Original timeline: response deadline September 26 2026 (now moot) and anticipated award after a late‑September posting.
• No budget, technical specifications, or place‑of‑performance details were disclosed.
• Primary contact: Contract Specialist Shemika Wray (VA).
