This is a modification notice extending the response deadline for a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)-restricted Architect/Engineer (A/E) services procurement. The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office (NCO) in Leavenworth, Kansas (Contracting Office ZIP: 66048) is seeking qualified firms to conduct a roof deck assessment for Building 8 at John J. Pershing VA Medical Center in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. The solicitation number is 36C25526R0183, with product/service code C1AZ and NAICS code 541330. The modified response deadline for SF 330 submissions is November 4, 2026, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with submissions directed to Abby.Monroe2@va.gov and Matthew.Finley@va.gov. This procurement is being conducted under the Brooks Act (PL 82-582) in accordance with FAR Subpart 36 and VAAR Subpart 836.6, and selection will be based on demonstrated competence and qualifications rather than price.

The modification provides clarifications on evaluation criteria, specifically requiring that all Designers of Record be professionally registered in their respective disciplines (architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, or other engineering) and sign and seal drawings. Resumes must include a minimum of three and maximum of five specific completed projects from the past ten years demonstrating relevant experience; the prior requirement referenced only five years of history. Significantly, the government will accept relevant roof assessment projects that did not result in construction or did not require construction period services, recognizing that this project does not involve follow-on construction activities. The procurement is restricted to SDVOSB firms, and no award will be made based on this announcement; rather, the evaluation board will provide a final selection list to the Contracting Officer for subsequent negotiations.
