About this file

This is an Amendment to a Previous Combined Solicitation for exhaust hood and ductwork cleaning services at the Ponce Out-Patient Clinic (POPC) under Request for Quotation (RFQ) 36C24826Q0190. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 8 (VA Caribbean Healthcare System) is seeking a small business contractor to provide quarterly cleaning services of a single Grease Master exhaust hood and associated ductwork, along with newly required services. The contract covers a 12-month base period with one 12-month option period, with services to be performed at the POPC facility located at 1802 Navarra Street, Ponce, PR 00716-2001. This is a small business set-aside with a NAICS code of 561790 and PSC code J041.

The amendment clarifies key details from the site visit and adds two new line items to the scope of work. Contractors must perform three quarterly cleanings during the base period (reduced from four due to the addition of a one-time deep cleaning service at contract start), conduct all services after normal operating hours (7:00 AM – 4:00 PM Monday-Friday) with five calendar days' notice to the facility point of contact, clean eight grease filters at the facility exterior behind the loading dock, and install one access panel/door in the ductwork (approximately 18 linear feet of 24" x 24" diameter ductwork in an L-shape configuration) to facilitate future inspections and cleaning. The amended quote submission deadline is 3:00 PM Atlantic Standard Time on January 27, 2026. The contracting officer is Wilfredo Perez, reachable at wilfredo.perez3@va.gov or 939-759-6783.
