About this file
This is an Amendment to a Request for Lease Proposal (RLP) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office. Amendment No. 0001 is effective for RLP 36C25026R0006 and addresses Requests for Information submitted by interested parties through April 28, 2026. The amendment clarifies that the proposal response deadline is May 28, 2026 at 3:00 PM Eastern Time, confirms corrected solicitation numbers and exhibit references on page 20 under Factor 1 (Building, Architectural and Design Concept), and updates Exhibit G (GSA 3517B General Clauses) to reflect recent governing authorities. The amendment also resolves the three-year past performance recency requirement by confirming the Government will retain this requirement as written, though offerors may submit all relevant past performance information for holistic evaluation, and those with limited recent projects will not be evaluated unfavorably solely due to lack of projects completed within the past three years.
The underlying solicitation seeks to lease a minimum of 10,000 assignable building occupancy area (ABOA) square feet of medical office space plus 77 parking spaces (including seven ADA-compliant spaces) for a Consolidated Medical Clinic in Kalamazoo, Michigan, within a specified geographic boundary. The lease term is up to 20 years, and the solicitation is set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSBC). The contracting office is located in Indianapolis, Indiana (ZIP 46240), with primary points of contact being Lease Contracting Officer Brian Walton and Kevin Adkins. The Product Service Code is X1DB, and the NAICS Code is 531120. Responses must be archived 99 days after the May 28, 2026 response date.

VA RFI RESPONSE THRU April 28, 2026
1. RFI #1: Can you verify the current due date? May 22nd and May 28th are listed in a few locations within the sam.gov/related RLP documents.
VA Response: The RLP due date is May 28,2026. Please refer to the updated RLP attached to this amendment as it will serve as the RLP document going forward.
2. RFI #2: Please confirm that the correct solicitation number(s) and exhibits are being noted on page 20, under Factor 1 Building, Architectural and Design Concept.
VA Response: The RLP document has been revised to reflect the correct RLP and Exhibit reference. The revised RLP is attached to this amendment.
3. RFI #3: Would the Government consider extending the Past Performance recency requirement from three (3) years to ten (10) years, or alternatively allowing the inclusion of highly relevant projects outside the three (3) year window for consideration? As currently written in Factor 4 Submission Instructions (Page 23), “Projects must have been completed during the past three (3) years by the offering entity.” For specialized healthcare development and construction projects—such as VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinics—project delivery timelines often span multiple years from design through completion. Expanding the recency window, or allowing consideration of older but highly relevant projects, would enhance the Government’s ability to evaluate experience on comparable medical facilities and reduce performance risk by ensuring that offerors can demonstrate meaningful, directly relevant past performance.
VA Response: The Government will retain the three-year recency requirement as written and does not intend to amend the RLP.
However, all offerors are encouraged to submit all relevant past performance information they believe appropriately represents their capabilities, consistent with the holistic review structure already established under Factor 4.
As stated in the RLP, in cases where recent past performance is limited or unavailable, an offeror:
“…may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably…” This allows the Government to consider past performance in context, without penalizing offerors lacking projects completed within the past three years.
These clarifications are issued for all interested offerors and do not amend the terms of the solicitation.
