This document contains questions and answers related to solicitation 667-25-2-397-0001 (VA-25-00006041) for pest control services at Overton Brooks VAMC. The Q&A reveals that no light fly traps or electrocution devices are currently installed and will need to be installed by the contractor. The previous full contract (36C25619P0264) was awarded on 10/24/2018, with an emergency 6-month contract (36C25624P1419) awarded for 8/1/2024.
Key details include: the Statement of Work is substantially different from past contracts; there have been three emergency service requests and seven bed bug service requests in the past 24 months; no CURE notices have been issued; contractors must determine appropriate numbers of rodent bait stations and fly lights with pest management officer concurrence; the contract will be for one base year plus four option years (60 months total); SDVOSB prime contractors must have relevant pest control experience; and Texas licensing requirements have been removed as CBOCs are no longer part of the contract scope. The government will provide an updated Form 1449 and price schedule breaking down costs by 12-month periods.

Has any part of the Statement of Work (SOW) changed in this solicitation compared to the last awarded contract? If so, what changed or was added?
This statement of work is substantially different from past contract award. Bid should be made accordingly. Past SOW is obsolete and therefore should not be used as reference for bid of this contract.

Seven
Can the government confirm the number of exterior rodent bait stations and interior rodent traps that are present? Will the government require these to be provided by the contractor upon award.
As per SOW, it is up to the contractor to determine what number of stations is required to effectively maintain the facility. Yes, bait stations are required to be placed upon award.
Can the government clarify how many fly lights are being used at the Overton Brooks
VAMC? Will the government require these to be replaced by the contractor upon award.
Number determined by contractor with concurrence of installation pest management officer.
Will need to be placed upon award.
Will the government provide an updated 1449 with the updated due date? Yes
Will the government provide an updated price schedule as the one in the solicitation only has one option year, but the solicitation states the term of the contract is five years? Yes
Will the government require SDVOSB Prime Contractors themself to have relevant pest control past experience including pesticide applications for the best interest of public health & safety and in alliance of the VHA Directive 1850.02 Pest Management Operations and VAAM Appendix
M815-A Department of Veterans Affairs Source Selection Guide?
Yes
Will the government provide a price schedule to break down each option year for "Pest services performed in accordance with the statement of work POP 1 Feb 25 through 31 Jan 30 (60 months in total)". If no, can the government clarify if the Grand Total for should reflect 12 months or 60 months?
Yes, 12 month periods. Contract is one year base and four option years totaling 60 months.
Page 9 - Section 1, bullet point 2, it is asking for "Pesticide safety and restrictions | Louisiana
Department of Agriculture and Forestry (la.gov), and Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA)", is that correct? I would think Louisiana would be the only one we need, unless we are missing a location in Texas. Seems that you removed the CBOC Locations previously listed.
Texas is not required. Should be removed since CBOCs are no longer part of contract SOW.
