The procurement involves manufacturing, delivering, and installing reinforced concrete grave liners that meet GSA Commercial Item Description A-A-30194 requirements, with four standard sizes ranging from 60"x22"x22" to 92"x38"x31". Contractors must be able to install liners within 30 minutes of grave excavation, maintain precise alignment in 3'x8' gravesites at depths of 5-7 feet, and coordinate operations to avoid disrupting cemetery services. Interested firms must submit detailed capability statements by December 10, 2024, at 10:00 AM Mountain Standard Time, demonstrating technical expertise, relevant contract vehicles, and sample pricing. The evaluation will focus on companies' ability to meet stringent technical specifications, including concrete composition, structural integrity, and installation procedures.
The opportunity is being considered for a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under NAICS code 327390 with a 500-employee size standard. The contract period is 365 days from award, with potential for future extensions. While no specific award value is mentioned, the solicitation indicates all-inclusive pricing will cover fabrication, transportation, delivery, inspection, installation, removal, and corrective work. No subcontracting opportunities are anticipated, and the government reserves the right to modify the acquisition approach if insufficient SDVOSB responses are received. Contractors must demonstrate compliance with detailed technical requirements, including specific concrete mixing standards, load-bearing capabilities, and installation protocols that ensure the dignity and precision required at a national cemetery.
