Six Figure Set-Aside
Issue 1 · Week of October 5, 2026
Welcome to the first weekly issue. Every Monday you'll get a short list of open federal opportunities set aside for SDVOSBs and VOSBs, filtered down from the full SAM.gov feed. This week, SAM.gov posted 328 SDVOSB and VOSB set-aside notices. After removing award notices, short deadlines and Defense Logistics Agency parts listings, these ten stood out.
As always: read the full solicitation before deciding anything. Scope, size standards and requirements are in the documents, not the title.
This week's opportunities
1. Rochester, NY Courthouse Construction
SDVOSB Set-Aside · Solicitation · NAICS 236220
Agency: General Services Administration (PBS Project Delivery East)
Where: Rochester, NY
Respond by: Oct 16, 2026
Solicitation #: 47PC5326R0021
Why it's worth a look: A courthouse construction project set aside for SDVOSBs is uncommon. It's best suited to established general contractors with real bonding capacity; check the solicitation for the project magnitude before investing time.
2. Renovate Buildings 5 & 5B for Mental Health
SDVOSB Set-Aside · Solicitation · NAICS 236220
Agency: Veterans Affairs (Network Contract Office 15)
Where: Wichita, KS
Respond by: Oct 19, 2026
Solicitation #: 36C25526R0171
Why it's worth a look: A VA renovation under its Non-Recurring Maintenance (NRM) program, which funds facility improvements at medical centers. Good fit for commercial builders with healthcare renovation experience.
3. Repair Parking Garage 1 Deficiencies
SDVOSB Set-Aside · Solicitation · NAICS 236220
Agency: Veterans Affairs (Network Contract Office 19)
Where: Oklahoma City, OK
Respond by: Oct 16, 2026
Solicitation #: 36C25926R0082_1
Why it's worth a look: Structural and concrete repair work at a VA facility. The "_1" in the solicitation number suggests it has been amended, so read the latest version.
4. Demolition and Abatement IDIQ — East Orange and Lyons
SDVOSB Set-Aside · Solicitation · NAICS 236220
Agency: Veterans Affairs (Network Contract Office 02)
Where: East Orange, NJ
Respond by: Oct 16, 2026
Solicitation #: 36C24226Q0857_0001
Why it's worth a look: An IDIQ means repeat task orders over the contract's life rather than one job. Worth it for demolition and abatement firms that want steady work across two VA campuses.
5. Fire Alarm Maintenance Service Contract (Base + 4)
SDVOSB Set-Aside · Solicitation · NAICS 561621
Agency: Veterans Affairs (Network Contract Office 10)
Where: Indiana
Respond by: Oct 21, 2026
Solicitation #: 36C25027Q0009
Why it's worth a look: A base year plus four option years means up to five years of recurring maintenance work. Service contracts like this are a common first federal win for security and fire-systems companies.
6. Generator Preventative Maintenance
SDVOSB Set-Aside · Combined Synopsis/Solicitation · NAICS 811310
Agency: Veterans Affairs (Network Contract Office 7)
Where: Dublin, GA
Respond by: Oct 21, 2026
Solicitation #: 36C24727Q0038
Why it's worth a look: A combined synopsis/solicitation is usually a simpler, faster buy, which makes it approachable for smaller electrical and equipment-service firms in the Southeast.
7. Medical Transcription Service
SDVOSB Set-Aside · Solicitation · NAICS 561410
Agency: Veterans Affairs (Network Contract Office 22)
Where: Arizona
Respond by: Oct 16, 2026
Solicitation #: 36C26226Q1138
Why it's worth a look: A non-construction opportunity for document and transcription services companies. Check the solicitation for whether the work can be performed remotely.
8. Environmental Disposal Liabilities Survey
SDVOSB Set-Aside · Solicitation · NAICS 541620
Agency: Veterans Affairs (Network Contract Office 20)
Where: Spokane, WA
Respond by: Oct 19, 2026
Solicitation #: 36C26027Q0057
Why it's worth a look: A professional-services survey for environmental consulting firms, the kind of work small specialist firms can win without heavy equipment or bonding.
9. Contractor-Hosted Fully Integrated Records Facility IDIQ
SDVOSB Set-Aside · Combined Synopsis/Solicitation · NAICS 541611
Agency: Health and Human Services (FDA Office of Acquisitions and Grants Services)
Where: Silver Spring, MD
Respond by: Oct 20, 2026
Solicitation #: 75F40126R00009
Why it's worth a look: One of the few non-VA picks this week. The FDA wants a contractor that hosts and manages a records facility, so it fits records-management firms that already operate storage space.
10. Restroom and Shower Trailer Rental
SDVOSB Set-Aside · Combined Synopsis/Solicitation · NAICS 562991
Agency: Department of the Air Force (502nd Contracting Squadron)
Where: See solicitation
Respond by: Oct 19, 2026
Solicitation #: FA301627Q0006
Why it's worth a look: A straightforward rental requirement, which makes it a realistic target for small portable-sanitation companies looking for an easy entry into federal work.
