H365--NEW-Medical Physics PM Services | Base year 1 Option Year

Why This Matters

This is an explicitly SDVOSB-set-aside presolicitation for Medical Physics Project Management Services under NAICS 541690, posted June 5, 2026 with a base year plus one option — meaning the award window is likely within 60-90 days and only SDVOSBs can compete. VA Network Contract Office 21 (NCO 21) covers a large multi-state region, making this a meaningful contract vehicle for any SDVOSB with clinical or healthcare program management capability. The presolicitation phase is the optimal moment to shape requirements and establish incumbent awareness before the RFP drops.

Recommended Action

Email james.postell@va.gov this week to introduce your firm, confirm the anticipated RFP release date, and ask whether a sources-sought or capability statement submission is being accepted prior to formal solicitation — reference solicitation number 36C26126Q0797 in the subject line.

Risk Assessment

Medical Physics PM is a highly specialized niche requiring demonstrable experience with radiation oncology, imaging physics, or diagnostic radiology program management — SDVOSBs without directly relevant past performance or a credentialed medical physicist on staff will struggle to clear the technical evaluation bar. Additionally, a base year plus only one option year signals a short contract horizon, limiting long-term revenue upside and increasing re-compete risk almost immediately after award.
