About this file
This is Amendment 0001 to RFQ 36C24926Q0324 issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 9 (Murfreesboro, TN) on August 5, 2026. The amendment provides vendor questions and government answers clarifying requirements for the procurement of dental track lighting equipment and installation services.
The RFQ is a set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS 339114 (Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing). Key requirements include furnishing and installing 13 DCI Series 5 LED track lights (with specific technical specifications including 500+ reflective facets, touch pad controls, no-cure UV filter setting, multiple lux settings, three-axis rotation capabilities, and 10-year warranty on parts, labor, and on-site service). One A-dec 577L track light will be provided as Government-Furnished Property and does not require contractor cost. Installation requires de-installation of 14 existing track lighting sets. The amendment clarifies that VAAR 852.219-76 (supplies/products version) applies, not 852.219-75; corrects file-naming convention to use RFQ number 36C24926Q0234; permits offerors to create their own Salient Characteristics Compliance Matrix if none is provided; and confirms an SBA-approved nonmanufacturer-rule class waiver for NAICS 339114. The quotation deadline is August 18, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time (EDT). Offerors must submit offers via email with two labeled files (SF1449 and Technical documents), with email size not exceeding 20MB.

CONTRACTING OFFICER
Vendor Questions/Government Answers RFQ 36C24926Q0324
1. CLIN 0003 requires installation of 13 DCI Series 5 track lights and one A-dec 577L track light, but CLIN 0001 only requires the contractor to furnish 13 DCI lights. Will the A-dec 577L be Government-furnished, or must it be included in the contractor's price?
Answer: The A-dec 577L track light will be furnished as Government-Furnished Property (GFP). The Government currently owns this item and will provide it to the Contractor for installation under CLIN 0003. The Contractor is not required to furnish or include the cost of the A-dec 577L in its proposed price. CLIN 0001 remains limited to the 13 DCI Series 5 track lights, as written.
2. The instructions require a Salient Characteristics Compliance Matrix “below,” but no matrix appears in the solicitation. May offerors create and submit their own matrix addressing each characteristic?
Answer: Yes. If the referenced matrix is not included in the solicitation, offerors may create and submit their own Salient Characteristics Compliance Matrix, provided it addresses each listed characteristic and clearly identifies whether the offered product "Meets" or "Does Not Meet" each requirement. Alternatively, offerors may use the matrix template attached at the bottom of this document/amendment.
3. Page 30 directs offerors to complete VAAR 852.219-75 for services and construction, while the solicitation contains VAAR 852.219-76 for supplies and products. Please confirm that offerors should complete and return 852.219-76.
Answer: Offerors shall complete and return VAAR 852.219-76 (the version applicable to supplies/products), as included in the solicitation. The reference to VAAR 852.219-75 on page 30 is in error and will be corrected by amendment. Offerors should disregard the page 30 reference to 852.219-75 and complete only VAAR 852.219-76.
4. The required file-naming convention on page 30 references 36C24926Q0234. Please confirm that files should instead be named using the correct RFQ number, 36C24926Q0324.
Answer: Offerors must submit one Offer via email with only two (2) separate and clearly labeled files in the format exactly as specified below, email size shall not exceed 20MB.
• SF1449_36C24926Q0234_ Name of Offeror
• Technical_36C24926Q0234 _ Name of Offeror
5. Please confirm whether the ten-year warranty must include parts, labor, and on-site service for the entire light assembly and related components, and whether the standard DCI manufacturer warranty satisfies this requirement.
6. For VAAR 852.219-76 compliance, has the Government determined that DCI is a domestic small-business manufacturer, or is an SBA nonmanufacturer-rule waiver applicable to this acquisition?
Answer: NAICS 339114 (Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing) is covered under an SBA-approved class waiver of the nonmanufacturer rule. Accordingly, an SDVOSB nonmanufacturer offeror may supply the product of any manufacturer (including a large business) and still qualify as compliant with the nonmanufacturer rule under this set-aside, provided the offeror otherwise meets all other applicable SDVOSB and small business nonmanufacturer requirements (e.g., primarily engaged in retail/wholesale trade, normally sells the type of item supplied, takes ownership/possession of the item with its personnel, etc.). A separate Government determination regarding DCI's specific size status as a manufacturer is therefore not required for offerors relying on the class waiver.
7. Please confirm that the quotation deadline is August 18, 2026, at 11:00 a.m.
prevailing Eastern Time (EDT).
Answer: Confirmed. The quotation deadline for this solicitation is August 18, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. prevailing Eastern Time (EDT).
