The VA needs a small business to provide warehouse services for the Robley Rex VA Medical Center in Louisville, KY.
Key Details
- What exactly do they need? The VA needs a warehouse service provider to manage a 1,000 sq ft secure IT storage area, handle up to 20 pallets daily, and provide daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly reports. The proposed facility must be within 30 minutes driving distance of the main hospital and meet double-lock secured requirements. The contractor will also be responsible for relocating items from the current warehouse at 1700 Mellwood Ave.
- What's the contract structure and timeline? The contract will be a firm-fixed-price IDIQ with a base year and option years. The notice doesn't say how long the contract will last.
- How will they pick the winner? The evaluation will be based on the technical and past-performance factors, including the proposed facility's location, security features, and ability to meet the VA's requirements.
- When and how do you bid? Bids are due on July 24, 2026, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. Submit your bid through the VA's e-Buy system.
Routine commodity buy — low-effort bid, modest payoff.

Heads up — easy to miss
