About this file

This document is Amendment 0001 to Request for Quotation (RFQ) 36C24426Q0944, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 4 on September 2, 2026, with an effective date of September 9, 2026. The amendment provides vendor questions and answers related to the solicitation and does not extend the deadline for offer receipt. The RFQ is for Commodities and is not set aside for small business.

The Questions and Answers address eight vendor inquiries covering NAICS code requirements, delivery logistics, product equivalency documentation, solicitation numbering errors, and technical specifications for workbenches and cabinets. Key clarifications include: vendors need not have specific NAICS codes in their SAM profile to bid but must meet the size standard if applicable; no loading dock is available and products will be offloaded at ground level through the receiving dock; descriptive literature and cut sheets are sufficient documentation for "or equal" products; the correct solicitation number is 36C24426Q0944 (correcting a typographical error on page 2); vendors should match elevations for workbench dimensions per field verification requirements; overhead cabinet arrangements for Workbench A are detailed in Attachment A; Workbench B's overall width of 127 inches should match the elevation; and Room 056 floor plan and elevation drawings are located in the statement of work. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

Questions and Answers for: RFQ 36C24426Q0944

Question 1: Our firm is actively registered in SAM and qualifies as a small business under the

$X.XX million size standard for NAICS 337215. However, 337215 is not currently among the

NAICS codes listed on our SAM entity registration, and we are in the process of adding it.

Will the Government accept a quote from an offeror that is actively registered in SAM and self-certifies as small under NAICS 337215 pursuant to FAR 52.219-1, where NAICS 337215 is added to the offeror's SAM entity registration after the quote is submitted but prior to award? If the Government requires the code to appear on the SAM registration as of the quote submission date, please confirm so that we may plan accordingly.

Answer: Vendors are NOT required to have the specific NAICS code in their SAM profile to bid on something or to be awarded a contract. However, they are required to meet the size standard of the NAICS we’re using on any particular solicitation if it’s a set-aside.

Question 2: Section B.2, paragraph 2.0 contains two statements we read as conflicting:

• "For this location, there is no loading dock available. All products will be delivered and offloaded directly onto the ground level. Entry into the facility is accessible only via the sidewalk."

• Four lines later: "All deliveries are through the loading dock."

Please confirm which condition applies. This materially affects our offloading and interior transport pricing, particularly for the cabinet units specified with fork truck bases (e.g., EW-FTB).

Answer 2: No loading dock is available. Product will be offloaded at ground level and delivered through the receiving dock.

Question 3: For offerors proposing an "or equal" product rather than the named

StanleyBlack&Decker LISTA/VIDMAR items, what documentation will the Government require to establish that the offered product meets the salient characteristics in Section B.2, paragraph

3.0? Specifically, will manufacturer cut sheets and specification data be sufficient, or does the

Government require samples, third-party test data, or other evidence?

Answer 3: Salient Characteristics are listed in the Statement of Need. Per Section E, page 39, line 2, Descriptive literature is required, this includes cut sheets and product literature etc.

Question 4: Page 2 of the RFQ carries solicitation number 36C24426Q0339, while the remainder of the document carries 36C24426Q0944. We have assumed 36C24426Q0944 is correct and that page 2 is a typographical error. Please confirm.

Answer 4: The correct solicitation number for this RFQ is 36C24426Q0944 as listed on page 1 of the RFQ. Page 2 is a typographical error and should be ignored.

Question 5: For Room 042, Workbench A, please confirm the correct overall width. The elevation shows 138 inches, but the top view and listed components do not appear to match this dimension.

Answer 5: Please match the elevations. Note: Field verification is required per section 7.0/ d

Question 6: Please confirm the correct arrangement and dimensions of the overhead cabinets, pegboard/panel, support frames, and remaining space for Workbench A.

Answer 6: Please reference attachment A.

Question 7: For Workbench B, please confirm whether the overall width of 127 inches shown in the elevation is correct.

Answer 7: Per response for #5, match elevation.

Question 8: Please provide the floor plan and elevation drawings for Room 056, if available.

Answer 8: Located in the statement of work.
