System updates may lag policy updates, so SAM may still require representations based on provisions not in agency solicitations. Examples include Affirmative Action Compliance and certain Offeror Representations and Certifications for commercial products and services. Contracting officers will not consider these representations in award decisions or enforce them. Entities are not required to update their registrations to remove these representations, nor are they able to do so in SAM.

The Department of Veterans Affairs VISN 6 intends to solicit proposals for Brand Name or Equal Solar Shades for the Hampton VA Medical Center in Hampton, Virginia (100 Emancipation Drive). This pre-solicitation notice is not a formal request for proposals; the acquisition will be set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. The solicitation is anticipated to be issued on or about August 13, 2026, with a base period of performance. The contractor must provide all labor, material, equipment, and delivery necessary for the Solar Shades.
