This requirement for services to perform Preventative Maintenance is as outlined in the attached Statement of Work (SOW). The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office (NCO) 2 is conducting a market survey to identify responsible sources and determine the acquisition strategy for this potential procurement.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this requirement is 811310 Commercial & Industrial Machinery & Equipment (except Automotive and Electronic) Repair and Maintenance. The Small Business Administration (SBA) size standard for this NAICS Code is $12.5 million.
