🔥 Strong Pursue — Act This Week
Opportunity #1 of 15
IT Support and Help Desk Services — National Capital Region
Department of Veterans Affairs · Washington, DC
SDVOSB Set-Aside Est. $2.4M / 3 years Due May 14 NAICS 541511
"Incumbent is underperforming on SLA metrics per recent CPARS reports. Agency language in the PWS signals a clear intent to explore alternatives. Competition will likely be limited to 2–3 qualified SDVOSB firms. Strong opportunity for any firm with documented VA or DoD past performance in IT support."

Opportunity #2 of 15
Agricultural Data Systems Maintenance & Support
USDA Agricultural Research Service · Remote / CONUS
8(a) Direct Award Est. $890K / 1 year + options Due May 21 NAICS 541511
