** VA does not guarantee any specific volume of samples to be submitted under this requirement.

7. Unless specifically directed otherwise, all samples shall be “immediate” (e.g. collected immediately after the tap is opened). The specific sampling locations and type of sample (e.g. hot water or cold water) will be specified by the COR.

8. The vendor shall provide adequate quantities of new, sterile sampling containers appropriate for the analyses to be performed. The vendor shall bear the cost of providing and shipping the containers to the VA at the inception of the contract term and as required thereafter. All containers shall be 250 milliliter minimum capacity, have tamper-evident seals and be appropriate for the analyses performed, including preservatives.

9. For sampling events conducted by VA personnel, provide reusable ice packs, appropriate insulated shipping containers, sample labels, chain of custody forms and all other appurtenances necessary to facilitate sample collection by VA.

10. Provide pre-paid shipping labels for shipping from VA locations to the laboratory.

Shipping services must be expedited in order to ensure that sample processing does not exceed designated holding times.

11. Standard tests performed shall be CDC/ISO/SM9260J culture and identify enumerate, and provide individual numeration of l. pnemphila Serogroup 1, 1.L pneumophila Serogroups 2-15 and other Legionella species (L. anisa, L. bozemanii, L. dumoffii, L.

feeleii, L. gormanii, L. jordanis, L. longbeachae, L. macaechernii, L. micdadei, L.

oakridgensis). The limit of detection for legionella shall be no higher than 0.1 Colony Forming units per milliliter (CFU/ml).

12. If requested, the laboratory shall be capable of performing additional analyses, such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) at established unit prices.

13. All recovered Legionella isolates must be properly stored for at least six (6) months to ensure availability if molecular characterization is required.

14. The vendor shall provide clear and comprehensive analytical reports including a comparison of sample results to the applicable thresholds and standards. A preliminary report for any samples showing legionella growth shall be provided within seven (7) days after samples are received by the laboratory. The final reports shall be provided within fourteen (14) days of laboratory receipt of samples. All analytical reports shall be transmitted to designated VA contacts via email.

15. In addition to the vendor’s standard laboratory report format, the vendor shall provide sample results in a specified Excel table format for direct upload into VHA’s Water

Safety Management Tool (WSMT). The results table format shall be updated by the vendor as required to ensure that the tables are acceptable for upload to WSMT.

B.2.2 CONTRACT OPTION FOR SAMPLE COLLECTION (OPTION A)

1. OPTION A (for on-site collection by the vendor) may be exercised at the discretion of the Government. There is no Government guarantee that OPTION A will be implemented under this contract.

2. Under this option, the vendor shall physically report to the designated sites and collect samples. Laboratory analyses shall then be performed as per the case portion of the statement of work.

3. Vendors shall be provided a list of specified sampling locations at designated facilities and will schedule sampling with facility COR’s. Each facility will have four (4) routine quarterly sampling events per year, which may be scheduled in advance with each facility. Facilities may require additional “non-routine” sampling outside of the quarterly events (i.e. post-remediation sampling in response to positives). In the case of non-routine sampling, vendors shall be required to collect samples within 72 hours of notice.

COR will assist vendor personnel in obtaining requisite identification badges to enter the facilities and collect samples.

4. Samples shall be collected during regular business hours, Monday through Friday 8:00am to 4:30pm EST.

5. All sampling containers, supplies and equipment shall be provided by the vendor. All containers shall be 250 milliliter minimum capacity, have tamper-evident seals and be appropriate for the analyses performed, including preservatives. Sample collection shall be “immediate” (collected promptly after the tap is opened) and may typically include:

domestic cold and hot water from fixtures such as sinks and showers; “pure” cold water sources such as ice machines; and “pure” hot water sources such as outlets from hot water tanks/heaters. Sample collection may also include cooling water from tower basins or circulation points.

6. The sampler must test and record the following parameters at each sampling station:

temperature, pH and biocide level. The vendor shall submit and maintain specifications, calibration and quality control validation procedures for measuring instrumentation used to test for the required parameters. For measurement of biocide levels, the vendor shall use a measurement device appropriate to the type of biocide used at the medical center (chlorine, chlorine dioxide or monochloramine).

7. Following sample collection, the vendor is responsible for transporting samples to their laboratory and completing analysis in accordance with the base portion of this PWS.

Upon completion of analysis, the vendor shall provide all sampling details (location, sample source, pH, biocide and temperature measurements, legionella testing results) on Excel tabular format as specified by VA, for upload into the VA Water Safety Management Tool.

(1) Means a small business concern—

(i) Not less than 51 percent of which is owned by one or more service-disabled Veterans or, in the case of any publicly owned business, not less than 51 percent of the stock of which is owned by one or more service-disabled Veterans or eligible surviving spouses (see VAAR 802.201, Surviving Spouse definition);

(ii) The management and daily business operations of which are controlled by one or more service-disabled Veterans (or eligible surviving spouses) or, in the case of a service-disabled Veteran with permanent and severe disability, the spouse or permanent caregiver of such Veteran;

(iii) The business meets Federal small business size standards for the applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code identified in the solicitation document;

(iv) The business has been certified for ownership and control pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127, 13 CFR 128, and is listed as certified in the SBA certification database at https://veterans.certify.sba.gov/; and

(v) The business agrees to comply with VAAR subpart 819.70 and Small Business Administration (SBA) regulations regarding small business size, government contracting, and the Veteran Small Business Certification Program at 13 CFR parts 121, 125, and 128.

(2) The term ‘‘Service-disabled Veteran’’ means a Veteran, as defined in 38 U.S.C. 101(2), with a disability that is service-connected, as defined in 38 U.S.C. 101(16).

(3) The term ‘‘small business concern’’ has the meaning given that term under section 3 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632).

(4) The term ‘‘small business concern owned and controlled by Veterans with service-connected disabilities’’ has the meaning given the term ‘‘small business concern owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans’’ under section 3(q)(2) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632(q)(2)).

(5) The term “SDVOSB participant” or certified SDVOSB means a small business that has been certified in the SBA Veteran Small Business Certification Program and listed in the SBA certification database (see 13 CFR 128.102).

(b) General. In order for a concern to submit an offer and be eligible for the award of an SDVOSB set-aside or sole source contract, the concern must qualify as a small business concern under the size standard corresponding to the NAICS code assigned to the contract and be listed as an SDVOSB participant in the SBA certification database as set forth in 13 CFR 128.

(1) Offers received from entities that are not certified SDVOSBs and listed in the SBA certification database at the time of offer shall not be considered.

(2) Any award resulting from this solicitation shall be made to a certified SDVOSB listed in the SBA certification database who is eligible at the time of submission of offer(s) and at the time of award.

(3) The requirements in this clause apply to any contract, order or subcontract where the firm receives a benefit or preference from its designation as an SDVOSB, including set-asides, sole source awards, and evaluation preferences.

(c) Representation. Pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127(e), only certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database are considered eligible to receive award of a resulting contract. By https://veterans.certify.sba.gov/ submitting an offer, the prospective contractor represents that it is an eligible and certified SDVOSB as defined in this clause, 13 CFR 121, 125, and 128, and VAAR subpart 819.70.

(d) Agreement/LOS certification. When awarded a contract action, including orders under multipleaward contracts, an SDVOSB agrees that in the performance of the contract, the SDVOSB shall comply with requirements in VAAR subpart 819.70 and SBA regulations on small business size, and government contracting programs at 13 CFR part 121 and part 125, including the non-manufacturer rule and limitations on subcontracting (LOS) requirements in 13 CFR 121.406(b) and 13 CFR 125.6. For the purpose of limitations on subcontracting, only certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database (including independent contractors) shall be considered eligible and/or ‘‘similarly situated’’ (i.e., a firm that has the same small business program status as the prime contractor). An otherwise eligible firm further agrees to comply with the required LOS certification requirements in this solicitation (see 852.219–75 or 852.219–76 as applicable). These requirements are summarized as follows:

(1) Services. In the case of a contract for services (except construction), the SDVOSB prime contractor will not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the government to the prime for contract performance to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database (excluding direct costs to the extent they are not the principal purpose of the acquisition and the SDVOSB/ VOSB does not provide the service, such as airline travel, cloud computing services, or mass media purchases). When a contract includes both services and supplies, the 50 percent limitation shall apply only to the service portion of the contract.

(2) Supplies/products.

(i) In the case of a contract for supplies or products (other than from a non-manufacturer of such supplies), the SDVOSB prime contractor will not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the government to the prime for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database. When a contract includes both supply and services, the 50 percent limitation shall apply only to the supply portion of the contract.

(ii) In the case of a contract for supplies from a non-manufacturer, the SDVOSB prime contractor will supply the product of a domestic small business manufacturer or processor, unless a waiver as described in 13 CFR 121.406(b)(5) has been granted. Refer to 13 CFR 125.6(a)(2)(ii) for guidance pertaining to multiple item procurements.

(3) General construction. In the case of a contract for general construction, the SDVOSB prime contractor will not pay more than 85% of the amount paid by the government to the prime for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database.

(4) Special trade construction contractors. In the case of a contract for special trade contractors, no more than 75% of the amount paid by the government to the prime for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, may be paid to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database.

(5) Subcontracting. An SDVOSB subcontractor must meet the NAICS size standard assigned by the prime contractor and be certified and listed in the SBA certification database to count as similarly situated. Any work that a first tier SDVOSB subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the percent of subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. For supply or construction contracts, the cost of materials is excluded and not considered to be subcontracted. When a contract includes both services and supplies, the 50 percent limitation shall apply only to the portion of the contract with the preponderance of the expenditure upon which the assigned NAICS is based. For information and more specific requirements, refer to 13

CFR 125.6.

(e) Required limitations on subcontracting compliance measurement period. An SDVOSB shall comply with the limitations on subcontracting as follows:

[] By the end of the base term of the contract or order, and then by the end of each subsequent option period; or

[X] By the end of the performance period for each order issued under the contract.

(f) Joint ventures. A joint venture may be considered eligible as an SDVOSB if the joint venture complies with the requirements in 13 CFR 128.402 and the managing joint venture partner makes the representations under paragraph (c) of this clause.

(1) If awarded a contract (see FAR 2.101 definition), it will comply with the limitations on subcontracting requirement as provided in the solicitation and the resultant contract, as follows:

(i) [X] Services. In the case of a contract for services (except construction), the contractor will not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–73 or certified VOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–74. Any work that a similarly situated certified SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the 50% subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Other direct costs may be excluded to the extent they are not the principal purpose of the acquisition and small business concerns do not provide the service as set forth in 13 CFR 125.6.

(ii) [] General construction. In the case of a contract for general construction, the contractor will not pay more than 85% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–73 or certified VOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–74. Any work that a similarly situated certified SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the 85% subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Cost of materials are excluded and not considered to be subcontracted.

(iii) [] Special trade construction contractors. In the case of a contract for special trade contractors, the contractor will not pay more than 75% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–73 or certified VOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–

74. Any work that a similarly situated certified SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the 75% subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Cost of materials are excluded and not considered to be subcontracted.

(2) The offeror acknowledges that this certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an Agency of the United States. The offeror further acknowledges that this certification is subject to Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001, and, as such, a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the offeror subject to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties, including prosecution.

(3) If VA determines that an SDVOSB/ VOSB awarded a contract pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127 did not act in good faith, such SDVOSB/VOSB shall be subject to any or all of the following:

(i) Referral to the VA Suspension and Debarment Committee;

(ii) A fine under section 16(g)(1) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 645(g)(1)); and

(iii) Prosecution for violating 18 U.S.C. 1001.

(b) The offeror represents and understands that by submission of its offer and award of a contract it may be required to provide copies of documents or records to VA that VA may review to determine whether the offeror complied with the limitations on subcontracting requirement specified in the contract. Contracting officers may, at their discretion, require the contractor to demonstrate its compliance with the limitations on subcontracting at any time during performance and upon completion of a contract if the information regarding such compliance is not already available to the contracting officer. Evidence of compliance includes, but is not limited to, invoices, copies of subcontracts, or a list of the value of tasks performed.

(c) The offeror further agrees to cooperate fully and make available any documents or records as may be required to enable VA to determine compliance with the limitations on subcontracting requirement. The offeror understands that failure to provide documents as requested by VA may result in remedial action as the Government deems appropriate.

(d) Offeror completed certification/fill-in required. The formal certification must be completed, signed and returned with the offeror’s bid, quotation, or proposal. The Government will not consider offers for award from offerors that do not provide the certification, and all such responses will be deemed ineligible for evaluation and award.
