INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF QUOTES

(includes close dates and times and other cut-off dates for submission)

Quote Submission Guidance: Quotes shall be submitted via e-mail only to C. Robert Oravetz, Contracting Officer, christopher.oravetz@va.gov. Quotes shall be submitted on or before the close date/time as specified in this solicitation. Offers/quotes are due no later than Tuesday, Monday, August 11th, 2025, by 1600 hours (4:00 p.m.) Eastern Time (ET). Any offeror/contractor submissions or requests for information received after the closing date and time of this solicitation (for any reason) are late. It is very unlikely that the solicitation close date will be extended so offerors/contractors are encouraged to respond on or before the final response date of Tuesday, Monday, August 11th, 2025, by 1600 hours (4:00 p.m.) Eastern Time (ET) with their best quote. It is recommended that quotes be sent utilizing e-mail messages with manageable and allowable file sizes to ensure an effective transmission. Separate or multiple e-mails are allowed just as long as the offeror/contractor indicates which/how many e-mails constitute a complete quote (i.e. E-mail message 1 of 2, E-mail message 2 of 2 etc.). Quotes shall not be sent as zip files and shall be rejected if received in this format. (Zip files are automatically blocked by the VA’s email security system thereby preventing such files from being opened, read, and accessed by the contracting administrator). The government will acknowledge receipt of quotes (by e-mail) if received prior to the close date and time of the solicitation. The government’s acknowledgement that a quote has been received shall not constitute acceptability or unacceptability of the quote (because the government is not in a position to review and/or to evaluate quotes during the open window of or immediately following the close date of the solicitation).

Solicitation Questions: Questions about this solicitation will be accepted and are due no later than Friday, July 31st, 2025, by 15:00 hours (3:00 p.m.) Eastern Time. Questions (to include requests for additional information/clarification) shall be submitted using attachment Solicitation Questions Request Form that accompanies this solicitation. Questions shall be submitted via e-mail only to C.

Robert Oravetz, Contracting Officer, christopher.oravetz@va.gov. No additional questions or requests for information/clarification shall be accepted after Friday, July 31st, 2025, by 15:00 hours (3:00 p.m.) Eastern Time. It is recommended that offeror’s/contractor’s review the section in this solicitation entitled “Addendum Presolicitation Procurement Questions and Responses” which provides responses to inquiries obtained during the market research phase of this procurement. The government’s response to questions and other inquiries about this solicitation will be addressed via amendment(s) to this solicitation whereby such responses will be posted to the Government Point of Entry (GPE) / Contract Opportunities (betasam) website https://sam.gov/content/opportunities.

Solicitation questions shall be submitted in writing only. Solicitation questions shall not be answered telephonically by the contracting officer, the facility, and/or by other contracting administrators that are directly or indirectly affiliated with this solicitation. It is the responsibility of offerors/contractors to monitor the Contract Opportunities (betasam) website https://sam.gov/content/opportunities for any and all amendments to this solicitation. (This includes the contract award notice that will be posted to the Contract Opportunities (betasam) website following contract award of this acquisition).

Notifications to individual offerors/contractors about amendments and/or other changes/additions to this solicitation will not be disseminated.
