The VA has revised the Real Estate Acquisition Support Services acquisition from a single nationwide contractor pool to a multiple-award IDIQ structure organized by Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) Coverage Area. This VISN-based approach allows qualified SDVOSB offerors to compete for one or more coverage areas and focus proposals on geographic areas where they can demonstrate staffing, local-market resources, capacity, and lawful authority to operate. VA states the model supports VISN-specific commission pricing, better alignment with regional lease-acquisition operations, and stronger accountability for contractor capacity, performance, quality control, and continuity. The revision supports VHA’s RISE organizational transformation to streamline structures, strengthen regional implementation and accountability, and improve consistency for Veterans. Because the solicitation was materially revised after the draft/RFI phase, VA will not post historical draft-stage questions and responses; the final solicitation, attachments, and Contracting Officer amendments are the authoritative sources, and offerors must submit questions per the final solicitation’s instructions.

The VA has revised its Real Estate Acquisition Support Services strategy from a single nationwide contractor pool to a multiple-award IDIQ structure organized by VISN Coverage Area, supporting VHA’s RISE transformation under Executive Order 14210. Qualified SDVOSB offerors may compete for one or more VISN Coverage Areas instead of a nationwide proposal, focusing on geographies where they can demonstrate staffing, local-market resources, capacity, and lawful authority to operate. The approach is intended to enable focused competition, VISN-specific commission pricing, alignment with VA regional lease-acquisition operations, and stronger accountability for contractor capacity, performance, quality control, and continuity. VA considered draft-solicitation/RFI feedback but will not post historical draft-stage questions and responses because the solicitation has been materially revised and those responses may not reflect final requirements. The final solicitation, attachments, and Contracting Officer-issued amendments are the only authoritative sources, and offerors must submit questions according to the final solicitation’s instructions.
