The Veterans Affairs Department has restarted the on-ramp process for a potential $25 billion professional services contract vehicle first awarded nearly two years ago.
Service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses who missed the cut can now officially get to work on their proposals for the Veteran Enterprise Contracting for Transformation and Operational Readiness contract.
Bids to gain a seat on the potential 10-year VECTOR program through this on-ramp are due no later than 1 p.m. Eastern on March 1, the VA said Monday in a Beta.Sam.Gov notice.
This is not for every single portion of the vehicle however. In a LinkedIn post on the opportunity, Red Team Consulting points out that only three groups are covered under the on-ramp.
