Original article: https://g2x.com/blog/top-10-federal-contract-opportunities-september-26-2026 Yesterday’s G2X community research put these ten federal contract opportunities at the top of the roundup. The requirements span healthcare transactions, Navy software, intelligence systems, commissary planning, and research. Here is the scope and acquisition stage behind each one. ## [1\. VA healthcare clearinghouse and insurance discovery](https://g2x.com/app/opportunities/sam/4bda7fa4-9957-4013-a1a1-445337a8557e) The Veterans Health Administration is researching a secondary healthcare clearinghouse for its Office of Community Care revenue operations. The requirement supports electronic health-insurance eligibility transactions and insurance discovery, extending the payer connections available to VA’s existing systems. VA’s RPO Central Supply and Services Team 2 is gathering capability information under solicitation 36C24C26Q0042, with responses due October 2. The work includes HIPAA 270/271 transactions and contractor-operated discovery services. VA anticipates a service-disabled veteran-owned small-business approach, but this sources-sought notice is market research rather than a final competition. ### Sources [SAM.gov procurement notice](https://sam.gov/opp/4bda7fa499574013a1a1445337a8557e/view) — VETERANS AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF.

Navy Maintenance Figure of Merit system engineering](https://g2x.com/app/opportunities/sam/1f27a542-a5c4-43db-825b-563126845b05) Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic has released a draft request for proposals for Maintenance Figure of Merit system and software engineering. MFOM supports the Navy’s maintenance information environment, and the draft gives industry an early view of the planned requirement. The acquisition is intended for SeaPort NxG contract holders as a total small-business set-aside. Presolicitation N6523626RE072 lists an October 7 response deadline; it is not a request for proposals at this stage. NIWC Atlantic expects the formal solicitation in October or November. ### Sources [SAM.gov procurement notice](https://sam.gov/opp/7d687feb36f44951901db6eef64b0da1/view) — DEPT OF THE NAVY.

INSCOM GEOINT architecture IT support](https://g2x.com/app/opportunities/sam/ecddc343-e9e5-4573-a4ad-db13db7dec59) Army Contracting Command–Detroit Arsenal is preparing an acquisition for the Intelligence and Security Command’s GEOINT architecture. The planned support combines information technology with logistics, training, and program management, primarily at Fort Gordon with additional domestic and overseas requirements. Presolicitation W50NH9-26-R-A019 anticipates a five-year time-and-materials arrangement, a core workforce of 30 positions, and three potential surge positions. Its current response deadline is October 9. The Army expects to release the formal request for proposals through PIEE; the present notice outlines the upcoming acquisition rather than opening that proposal process. ### Sources [SAM.gov procurement notice](https://sam.gov/opp/ecddc343e9e54573a4addb13db7dec59/view) — DEPT OF THE ARMY.

The Acquisition and Property Division is handling the procurement, which covers a short base period and optional extensions. Combined synopsis/solicitation 1232SA26Q1507 has a September 28 response deadline. The notice describes an intended single-source action while allowing responsible sources to submit responses for consideration. The contemplated service period consists of a one-month base and two one-month options, making continuity of these mail operations the immediate requirement. ### Sources [SAM.gov procurement notice](https://sam.gov/opp/17399db65a8d451f8b2f7a02a228b945/view) — AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SERVICE.

The vehicle supports mission research and development and the reuse and sharing of scientific and technical information. Sources-sought solicitation FA807527R0001 requests responses by October 6.

Strategic mission-planning managed-service support](https://g2x.com/app/opportunities/sam/d1eadc11-d2c3-4864-9453-867e7d2207ec) The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center’s Combatant Command Command and Control Division is researching managed-service support for SMPDS.

A successful prototype does not itself guarantee a follow-on production agreement. ### Sources [SAM.gov procurement notice](https://sam.gov/opp/f1d6ae6b9ecf42598f275ff8966b07ce/view) — MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY (MDA).
