About this file
This is an amendment to a previous combined solicitation/RFQ for commercial products issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Louis A. Johnson VAMC (located in Clarksburg, WV), under solicitation number 36C24526Q0686. The solicitation is set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS code 333310 with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The PSC code is 7310. The VA is procuring two Vulcan CHEF-102G gas combi ovens configured for natural gas, along with five line items total: installation kits, single hollow carbon filter systems (CB15K with 15,000 gallon capacity), water treatment systems (SMF600 System Scaleblocker), and water softening systems (WS40 with 2,527 grains/lb capacity). All equipment and accessories must be delivered to BOVA Corp, 111 McFann Road, Valencia, PA 16059 by September 30, 2026. The original response deadline has been extended to August 5, 2026 at 1:00 PM Eastern Time.
The amendment clarifies key solicitation requirements based on submitted Requests for Information. Offerors may propose Vulcan-approved compatible accessories with specific manufacturer/model information provided in quotations. The contractor is responsible only for furnishing and delivering equipment with no onsite installation labor included; field installation will be performed by the construction project subcontractor. Training consisting of a no-charge four-hour Vulcan Certified Chef program is required at the Louis A. Johnson VAMC, estimated for spring 2027 with a May 2027 end date. Evaluation criteria are technical merit, past performance (evaluated comparatively with no minimum requirements), and price. A recent distributor letter (within two years) from the prime contractor confirming distributor status is required. An SBA class waiver for the nonmanufacturer rule applies; equipment need not be manufactured by a small business. All quotes must include Buy American Certifications listing country of origin by line item.

DESCRIPTION
VA responses to additional received RFIs, responses in RED:
1. Please confirm whether the two Vulcan CHEF-102G ovens must be configured for natural gas or LP gas. Natural gas, the facility does not utilize LP.
1. The pricing schedule identifies installation kits, hollow-carbon filters, water-treatment systems, and water-softening systems, but does not provide manufacturer names or part/model numbers. May offerors propose Vulcan-approved compatible accessories and provide the specific manufacturer/model information in the quotation? Yes, already provided in previous amendments posted to sam.gov.
1. The solicitation states “Installation: N/A,” and CLIN 0004 says the water-treatment equipment will be field-installed by others. Please confirm the contractor is responsible only for furnishing and delivering all five line items, with no onsite installation labor included. The installation is being taken care of by the subcontractor of the construction project. It’s a minor addition to the medical center.
1. The oven description includes a no-charge four-hour Vulcan Certified Chef training program. Please identify the required training location and anticipated timing, because the equipment delivery location is BOVA Corporation rather than the Louis A. Johnson VAMC. Training to take place at Louis A Johnson VAMC, I can only estimate the timeframe as the installation is tied to the construction project. Estimate Spring of 2027. I have an end date of May 2027 currently.
1. Please confirm whether all equipment and accessories must be delivered together to BOVA Corporation by September 30, 2026. Yes, as the installation will occur before completion of the construction project.
1. The evaluation factors are technical, past performance, and price. Is there a minimum number, recency period, or prescribed format for past-performance references? No, its comparative analysis.
1. Please clarify the required form and content of the distributor letter. Must it be issued specifically for Kcamow and this RFQ, and is there a maximum age for the letter? Prefer that its recent i.e. within the last two years, do not need to reference RFQ and yes to the prime contractor must be listed as a distributor.
1. Because the solicitation is an SDVOSB supply set-aside and includes VAAR 852.219-76, please confirm whether the nonmanufacturer rule applies and whether an SBA class or individual waiver is applicable to these commercial combi ovens and accessories. SBA class waiver applies.
1. Specifically, must the offered products be manufactured by a small-business manufacturer? There is no need for the equipment to be manufactured by a small.
