About this file
This is an Amendment to a Previous Combined Solicitation that addresses contractor questions and answers for RFQ 36C25026Q0889. The solicitation is issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office in Columbus, Ohio (ZIP 43219) for air compressor removal and replacement services at the Marion VA Medical Center in Marion, Indiana (46953). The response deadline is September 10, 2026 at 4:00 PM Eastern Time, with a response archive period of 60 days after the response date. The procurement is for Product Service Code 4310 (Compressors) under NAICS Code 238220 with no set-aside designation.
The amendment clarifies eight key questions regarding the solicitation requirements. Contractors must complete three line items (compressor delivery, installation, and startup services) within 60 days after receipt of order with no period of performance restriction. The government removed all references to specific manufacturer requirements, allowing equivalent compressors meeting specified horsepower, PSI, CFM, and electrical requirements. If the contractor is not the manufacturer, a letter from the manufacturer authorizing the contractor to sell or distribute their products is required. Site visit attendance is optional with an RSVP deadline of Friday, August 28, 2026. The amendment confirms no bid bonds, payment bonds, performance bonds, prevailing wage determinations, or special insurance coverage are required. Payment will be issued only after complete delivery, installation, and acceptance of products, with no progress payments authorized. The primary point of contact is Contract Specialist Timothy L. Garrity at timothy.garrity@va.gov or (480) 686-5349.

RFQ 36C25026Q0889 – Questions and Answers
1. The solicitation references both VAAR 852.219-75 and 852.219-76 regarding the Limitations on Subcontracting certification. Which certification must be completed and submitted with our quotation, and where can we obtain the required form?
Answer: The VARR references concerning the Limitations on Subcontracting were mistakenly put in the RFQ. All mentions of VAAR 852.219-75 and VAAR 852.219-76 have been removed from the RFQ.
1. How will the limitation on subcontracting be calculated for this requirement, considering that it includes equipment, materials, removal, installation, electrical and mechanical connections, and startup services?
Answer: Limitations on subcontracting are not pertinent to this RFQ. All mentions of VAAR 852.219-75 and VAAR 852.219-76 have been removed from the RFQ.
1. The site-visit RSVP deadline is listed as “Friday, August 29, 2026,” but August 29 falls on a Saturday. Is the correct RSVP deadline Friday, August 28, or Saturday, August 29? Also, is attendance at the site visit mandatory to submit a responsive quotation?
Answer: The site-visit RSVP deadline is Friday, August 28, 2026. Attendance at the site visit is not mandatory.
1. The Statement of Work identifies the RA-11I Fixed Speed 4–11KW compressor. Is this exact manufacturer and model required, or will an equal compressor meeting or exceeding the listed horsepower, PSI, CFM, electrical, and operational requirements be accepted?
Answer: All mention of any manufacturer verbiage has been removed from the RFQ.
1. If an equivalent product is permitted, are there any additional specifications that must be met, including voltage, phase, tank size, dryer requirements, controls, connection sizes, or required manufacturer certifications?
Answer: There is no longer any mention of any exact manufacturer.
1. The solicitation requires a manufacturer authorization letter when the prime contractor is not the manufacturer. Will a letter from the manufacturer confirming that our proposed supplier or installing subcontractor is an authorized dealer or distributor satisfy this requirement, or must the letter specifically name V Notary Service LLC as the authorized seller?
Answer: As stated in the RFQ, if a contractor is not the manufacturer of the products being offered, they must provide a letter/memo from the manufacturer stating they are authorized to sell/distribute the manufacturer’s products. A letter/memo stating a subcontractor is authorized to sell/distribute the manufacturers products is not sufficient.
1. The delivery schedule lists September 30, 2026, while the period of performance is October 1 through October 31, 2026. Should the two compressors and startup kits be delivered by September 30, with removal and installation performed during October?
Answer: Any mention of a period of performance has been removed. The contractor is required to complete the three (3) line items in the RFQ 60 days after receipt of the order (ARO).
1. Please confirm whether any bid bond, payment bond, performance bond, prevailing-wage determination, or special insurance coverage is required for this procurement.
Answer: There is no requirement for any bid bond, payment bond, performance bond, prevailing wage determination, or special insurance coverage required for this requirement.
1. Will payment be issued after the complete installation and acceptance of both compressors, or may the contractor invoice separately for delivered equipment and completed installation milestones?
Answer: Payment will be made after the delivery, installation and acceptance of the products. Progress payments are not authorized.
