About this file

This file is a Standard Form 30 Amendment to Solicitation and an attached Wage Determination for solicitation 36C24526R0079, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration VISN 5 Contracting Office on June 22, 2026. The amendment attaches Questions and Answers clarifications and Wage Determination 2015-4281 (Revision 37, effective May 14, 2026) to the wheelchair van transportation services solicitation for the Washington DC VA Medical Center.

The solicitation seeks multiple award contracts (up to three awardees) for non-emergent wheelchair van transportation services available 24/7 across a 15-county service area in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Key requirements include: contractors must hold or commit to obtaining a WMATC license prior to the contract effective date (November 1, 2026); possess a minimum of five years company existence; maintain appropriate commercial liability and general liability insurance; and comply with Service Contract Act wage determinations. Pricing includes a base rate for trips up to 25 miles (one-way), mileage charges for trips exceeding 25 miles, and wait-time billing after 30 minutes. All trip scheduling, authorization, and billing occurs through the VA's VetRide system, which serves as the official record. The wage determination covers occupations including Dispatcher, Motor Vehicle ($25.71/hour), with all employees receiving health and welfare benefits of $5.55/hour, two to four weeks paid vacation based on tenure, and 11 paid holidays annually. For positions outside the collective bargaining agreement with ATU Local 689, the standard SCA wage determination applies. Historical trip data will not be provided; offerors must price based on the price/cost schedule provided.

1. Attach the questions and answers

2. Attach Wage Determination 2015-4281

Dan Feng Lu Contracting Officer Washington DC VAMC Wheelchair Van Services Solicitation 36C24526R0079 Questions & Answers

1. Sharing the Work Among Awardees. With up to three awardees sharing capacity, could you share how the VA anticipates distributing transportation requests among the awarded contractors (for example, rotation, geographic area, or COR assignment)? Understanding this helps us right-size our fleet and staffing so veterans get reliable, on-time service from day one.

See Revolutionary FAR Overhaul, FAR 16.507 Additional ordering procedures for multiple-award contracts.

2. CBA Wage and Fringe Rates. The wage determination (2024-0002 Rev. 5) points to the collective bargaining agreement with ATU Local 689, but the underlying rate tables aren't included. Would you be able to provide the CBA wage and fringe schedule? As a successor contractor under the Service Contract Act, we want to make sure we build those rates into our pricing correctly.

CBA can be found on: https://olmsapps.dol.gov/olpdr/?_ga=2.31268284.2072096146.1684084516-541355835.1670612754#CBA%20Search/CBA%20Search/

3. Rates for the Later Option Years. We noticed the current CBA runs through May 31, 2028, while the contract period extends into 2031. Could you advise how wage rates are expected to be handled for the option periods after the current CBA term, for example through a future revised wage determination? This helps us price the out-years responsibly.

After the CBA term ends, wage and fringe benefit rates are determined by:

· Any successor CBA.

· Otherwise, the most recent applicable SCA Wage Determination as issued by the Department of Labor (DOL).

4. Historical Trip Data. To price the base-rate and mileage lines as precisely as possible, would historical trip data be available, roughly the annual trip count, average miles per trip, how often trips run past the 25-mile base, and the general mix of local DC-area trips versus the longer runs out to facilities like Baltimore, Martinsburg, or the West Virginia sites? Even approximate figures would help us give the VA sharp, realistic pricing.

Historical trip data will not be provided. Please use price/cost schedule for pricing.

5. Multiload Authorization and Billing. The PWS notes that more than one patient may be transported per order when approved by authorized VA staff. Could you share how multiload trips are authorized in practice, and how they are billed, for example whether each patient leg is invoiced at the base rate and how mileage is handled when patients share a vehicle? This helps us plan vehicle configurations and prices accurately.

All trips will be scheduled in VetRide individually for each Veteran per trip, that means a separate trip will be created for each Veteran. You will complete and invoice each trip for each veteran on VetRide, according to the assigned authorization.

6. Roles Outside the CBA. For positions that fall outside the CBA, such as dispatchers and schedulers, should we apply a separate standard wage determination, and if so, is there one you'd point us to?

For positions that are not covered by the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), you must apply the Department of Labor’s (DOL) standard wage determination under the Service Contract Act (SCA) for those roles.

Wage Determination 2015-4281 attached.

Please reach out of DOL for additional questions on wage determination.

7. Current Staffing Picture. To plan staffing and benefits accurately, would you be able to share the number of personnel currently performing this work and their general classifications? This helps us build a compliant and competitive labor plan.

It will not be shared.

8. Measuring On-Time Performance. We're committed to strong, measurable on-time service. Since VetRide captures pick-up and drop-off times, will on-time results be tracked from that system data? We want to be set up to meet, and clearly document, the standard from day one.

Yes, the VetRide data will be used.

9. Trip Loading Ahead of the Start Date. Advance visibility into scheduled trips makes a meaningful difference for a clean mobilization. Around the start of performance, will VTS load scheduled VetRide trips at least two weeks ahead of the POP start date, so the awarded vendor(s) can finalize vehicle types, routing, and staffing before day one?

It is not guaranteed at least two weeks trips prior to start date will be loaded in VetRide, as this is non-emergent wheelchair transportation services available to the VA as needed, 24 hours a day, seven days a week (24/7), including weekends and holidays. Additionally, contractor may be required to dispatch on short notice for not scheduled in advance requests, see Performance Work Statement (PWS) 4.5.1.7.2 and 4.5.1.7.3.

10. On-Site Personnel. Is there a requirement for the contractor to station full-time personnel on-site at the DC VAMC, such as a coordinator or dispatcher, or is the 24/7 VetRide monitoring expected to be managed remotely? This affects how we structure our staffing plan.

The VA does not require the contractor to station a full-time personnel on-site.

11. Trip Verification and Reconciliation. Once a trip is completed, how does the VA verify and confirm it for billing and performance purposes? For example, is the VetRide record the system of record, and how are any discrepancies between the vendor's completion data and VTS records reconciled? We want trip confirmation and invoicing to stay clean and auditable on both sides.

All trip activity, billing, and performance verification will be conducted within the VetRide system, which serves as the official system of record. Any discrepancies in trip data between the contractor’s records and VetRide will be resolved based on VetRide data, and all final reconciliations and corrections must be documented within VetRide to maintain a transparent and auditable process.

See PWS 4.5.1.1.1 and 4.5.1.1.2 for additional information on reconciliation.

12. Confirming Trip Details Before Assignment. When an order is placed in VetRide, will VTS confirm the veteran's pick-up and drop-off locations, mobility type, attendant needs, and equipment requirements before assigning the trip to a vendor? And if those details differ at the point of pick-up (for example, a different mobility type than listed), how would the VA like the vendor to handle it, and how is that trip treated for billing? Accurate details up front let us dispatch the right vehicle the first time and keep veterans on schedule.

See PWS 4.5.1.2.1 for information will be entered in VetRide.

Please note that this requirement is specifically for wheelchair van transportation services. The expected default mobility type is wheelchair. If a discrepancy arises at the point of pick-up, the vendor should contact authorized VA staff immediately to report change. The VA will provide guidance on how to proceed and only proceed with VA direction.

13. Award Notification and Debriefing. Will unsuccessful offerors receive a notice of award and the opportunity for a debriefing, and could you share the expected timeline? We'd also appreciate confirmation of the protest procedures referenced in the solicitation.

See Revolutionary FAR Overhaul, FAR 15.206 Pre-award notices and debriefings.

See section E.5 of the solicitation for protest information.

14. The solicitation states offerors without a current WMATC license may submit a written plan for obtaining one prior to the effective date. Will the VA accept a formal written commitment in lieu of the physical WMATC license at time of proposal submission, and will failure to hold the WMATC license at submission render the offer technically unacceptable?

In the event the offeror does not possess the required WMATC or other applicable licenses/certifications at the time of proposal submission, a formal written statement detailing their plan and timeline for obtaining all necessary licenses and certifications prior to the effective date of the contract will be evaluated.

15. What is the VA's minimum acceptable timeline for WMATC license acquisition post-award — is "prior to November 1, 2026 PoP start" the firm deadline, or will the VA consider a grace period if WMATC processing delays occur outside the contractor's control?

All necessary licenses and certifications are required prior to the effective date of the contract.

16. What specific documentation will the VA accept as proof of 5+ years in existence — is a Florida Secretary of State entity registration record (sunbiz.org printout) and/or LLC Articles of Organization acceptable, or does the VA require a specific format?

The VA does not require any specific format.

17. Does the 5-year company age requirement apply to the prime offeror only, or does it also apply to subcontractors performing under the resulting contract?

It applies to the prime offeror.

18. The solicitation states "up to three" awardees at the lowest evaluated price technically acceptable. Will the VA award to exactly three offerors, or fewer if fewer than three technically acceptable offers are received?

See section E.7 of the solicitation.

19. How will task orders be distributed among MATOC awardees — rotation, lowest price, COR discretion, or another method?

See Revolutionary FAR Overhaul, FAR 16.507 Additional ordering procedures for multiple-award contracts.

20. Is there a minimum task order volume guarantee per awardee beyond the stated $1,000 contract minimum?

See Multiple Award Task Order Contracts language in section B.3 Price/Cost Schedule.

21. Are all 15 DC/MD/VA counties in the service area active from Day 1 of the PoP, or will task orders be initially limited to a subset of counties?

The vendor should be prepared to begin providing services at all covered locations in the PWS starting immediately on the contract start date.

22. Is the 25-mile base rate measurement one-way trip distance (pick-up to drop-off only), or does it apply to a round-trip?

See B.3 Price/Cost Schedule, base rate of one-way trip includes first 25 miles.

23. Does CLIN x004 wait time billing begin after the first 30 minutes of waiting at pick-up only, or does it also apply at the drop-off end of the trip?

See section 4.9.1 in PWS for wait time.

24. What is the VA's typical processing time for NACI background investigation adjudications, and will the VA accept provisional performance under CO supervision while NACI results are pending for new hires post-award?

The VA will not be performing NACI background check for this requirement.

See section 4.3.1.5 in PWS for background check, all documents will be required prior to the start date of this contract.

25. Does the NACI background investigation requirement apply to all subcontractor (BFG Logistics, LLC) drivers who may perform services under the resulting contract?

See question #24 for background check.

The contract vendor will be responsible for background checks on all employees working under this contract, including subcontractors.

26. Will the VA provide VetRide portal access and account setup to the awardee immediately upon award notification, or is there a setup lag that could affect Day 1 operations?

See section 4.9.5 of the PWS.

27. For mileage billing under CLIN x003 — does FSL bill mileage from veteran pick-up address to drop-off address only (one-way), or does it include return mileage?

See section 4.9.3 of the PWS.

28. What are the specific minimum coverage limits required for commercial automobile liability and general liability under this contract? The PWS references coverage requirements but does not state specific dollar minimums.

See section C.6 Supplemental Insurance Requirements.

29. Regarding Wage Determination No. 2024-0002 Revision No. 5, the document notes it is based on a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between Battle's Transportation, Inc. and Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689. However, the actual text of the wage determination does not append the specific hourly wage rates or health and welfare fringe benefit rates for Non-CDL Drivers and Attendants . Will the VA provide the full text/wage matrix of the incorporated CBA so that all offerors can calculate labor rates accurately and equitably?

See question #2

30. Section B.3 indicates that the contract is a shared-capacity Multiple Award IDIQ given to up to three contractors. Could the VA clarify the exact operational mechanics used to distribute trip orders among the three awardees? Will trips be distributed via a low-price cascade, a rotating schedule, geographic territory allocation, or an open daily dispatch portal where vendors accept trips on a first-come, first-served basis?

See question #19.

31. Will the VA provide 12 months of historical trip data including details about the pick up and drop off including time, address (at least zip code), miles, and duration?

No, historical data will not be provided. Locations are provided in the PWS.

32. If not complete trip details, will the VA at least provide historical or projected hourly trip distribution data? Specifically, what are the historical peak concurrency hours and the maximum number of simultaneous wheelchair transports required during those peak windows?

This requirement is to provide non-emergent wheelchair transportation services to the VA as needed, 24 hours a day, seven days a week (24/7), including weekends and holidays.

Historical data will not be provided.

33. If not complete trip details, will the Government provide historical transportation data indicating the average one-way loaded mileage per patient trip?

Historical data will not be provided.

34. Section 4.9 notes that final mileage calculations for contract invoicing will be limited to the VA’s calculation according to the VA’s Bing Maps API determination. In scenarios where localized severe weather, terrain blockages, or emergency road closures force drivers to take detours that exceed the static Bing Maps calculation by more than 10%, what is the exact administrative procedure for submitting electronic GPS breadcrumb strings and forward-facing camera telematics data to justify an invoicing exception?

The contractor must notify the VA immediately; the VA will provide guidance on how to proceed and only proceed with VA direction.

35. Volume I, Factor 1, Subfactor 6 states that if an offeror does not possess the required WMATC license at the time of proposal submission, they may submit a formal written statement detailing their plan and timeline for obtaining it prior to the contract effective date. However, PWS Section 4.3.5 states that the vendor must hold a valid WMATC license and provide proof before the performance period begins. Will the Government explicitly confirm that an offeror who submits a compliant acquisition plan and timeline—in lieu of an active license at bid time—will be rated as "Technically Acceptable" for this subfactor?

In the event the offeror does not possess the required WMATC or other applicable licenses/certifications at the time of proposal submission, a formal written statement detailing their plan and timeline for obtaining all necessary licenses and certifications prior to the effective date of the contract will be evaluated. However, WMATC license is required prior to the effective date of the contract.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors, applies to all contracts subject to the Service Contract Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is the victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

Note: Executive Order 13658 generally applies to contracts subject to the Service Contract Act that were awarded on or between January 1, 2015 and January 29, 2022, and that have not been renewed or extended on or after January 30, 2022. If a contract is subject to Executive Order 13658, the contractor must pay all covered workers at least $13.65 per hour (or the applicable wage rate listed on this wage determination, if it is higher) for all hours spent performing on the contract from May 11, 2026, through December 31, 2026. The applicable Executive Order minimum wage rate will be adjusted annually.

Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under Executive Order 13658 is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:

HEALTH & WELFARE: $5.55 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $222.00 per week or $962.00 per month

HEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $5.09 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $203.60 per week, or $882.27 per month*

*This rate is to be used only when compensating employees for performance on an SCA-covered contract also covered by EO 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors. A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obligations for any paid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706.

VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor, 3 weeks after 5 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of service includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)

HOLIDAYS: A minimum of eleven paid holidays per year: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (A contractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4.174)

THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:

1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: This wage determination does not apply to any individual employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity, as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. (See 41 C.F.R. 6701(3)). Because most Computer Systems Analysts and Computer Programmers who are paid at least $27.63 per hour (or at least $684 per week if paid on a salary or fee basis) likely qualify as exempt computer professionals under 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(1) and 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(17), this wage determination may not include wage rates for all occupations within those job families. In such instances, a conformance will be necessary if there are nonexempt employees in these job families working on the contract.

Job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry, and are not determinative of whether an employee is an exempt computer professional. To be exempt, computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements must also have a primary duty that consists of:

(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including consulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functional specifications;

(2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on and related to user or system design specifications;

(3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer programs related to machine operating systems; or

(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of which requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).

Any computer employee who meets the applicable compensation requirements and the above duties test qualifies as an exempt computer professional under both section 13(a)(1) and section 13(a)(17) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. (Field Assistance Bulletin No. 2006-3 (Dec. 14, 2006)). Accordingly, this wage determination will not apply to any exempt computer employee regardless of which of these two exemptions is utilized.

2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If you work at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differential and receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am.

If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of your regularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sunday premium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime (i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is considered overtime work).

** HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL **

An 8 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to ordnance, explosives, and incendiary materials. This includes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordnance, explosives, and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powder and photoflash powder.

All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operations on sensitive ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operations involving re-grading and cleaning of artillery ranges.

A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity to ordnance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materials which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of the employee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and the like;

minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used. All operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordnance, explosive, and incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency for ordnance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.

** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **

If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract (either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the following standards as compliance:

The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, in those instances where the uniforms furnished are made of """"wash and wear"""" materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and do not require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commercial laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work, there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.

** SERVICE CONTRACT ACT DIRECTORY OF OCCUPATIONS **

The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the """"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations"""", Fifth Edition (Revision 1), dated September 2015, unless otherwise indicated.

** REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE, Standard Form 1444 (SF-1444) **

Conformance Process:

The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which is not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work to be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(i)). Such conforming procedures shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)). The Wage and Hour Division shall make a final determination of conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits which shall be paid to all employees performing in the classification from the first day of work on which contract work is performed by them in the classification. Failure to pay such unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interested parties and/or fully determined by the Wage and Hour Division retroactive to the date such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a violation of the Act and this contract. (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(v)). When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF-1444 should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to be conformed.

The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:

1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformed occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).

2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in order the proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each proposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wage rate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the authorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorized representative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to the contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employees performs any contract work.

3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a report of the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the U.S.

Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, for review (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)).

4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, or disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, or notifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to process the request.

5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour Division's decision to the contractor.

6) Each affected employee shall be furnished by the contractor with a written copy of such determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iii)).

Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF-1444 or bond paper.

When preparing a conformance request, the """"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations"""" should be used to compare job definitions to ensure that duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in the wage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks that determine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.

Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivide classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.152(c)(1)).""" image1.png
