Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Gulf Coast Veterans Healthcare System issued a solicitation for Surgical Instrument Repair Services (PSC 6515, NAICS 811210) under solicitation number 36C25627Q0004. The solicitation was subsequently cancelled on 20 August 2026 because the required services are available through the GSA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS). The VA will issue a new Request for Quotation via the GSA eBuy portal, limited to Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) schedule contractors. No offers will be accepted for the cancelled solicitation; vendors must hold an applicable FSS contract to compete in the forthcoming RFQ.
