This document is an Amendment to Solicitation for Janitorial Services at VA Caribbean Healthcare System (VACHS) and Mayaguez Out-Patient Clinic (MOPC). The amendment extends the proposal submission deadline to June 20, 2025 at 3:00 PM Atlantic Standard Time and provides several key updates: revised Performance Work Statement (PWS) corrections including updated facility hours, square footage adjustments, waste management specifications, and new sections on service discontinuation, disinfection items, and influenza vaccination requirements. A second site visit is scheduled for June 9, 2025, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in the VACHS Admin Building.

The solicitation is a small business set-aside for janitorial services with NAICS code 561720, with a contract period from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026, plus four option years. The procurement is for the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 8, located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Award will be based on technical capability and past performance, which are significantly more important than price. The contract includes a Collective Bargaining Agreement, and following Executive Order 14148, which revoked previous minimum wage requirements for federal contractors.
