This document is an amendment to a combined solicitation for grill hood cleaning services issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office in Houston, TX. The solicitation (No. 36C25625Q1337) was for cleaning grill hoods and fans at multiple buildings in the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System, including Building 1, Building 76, Building 170, and Building 202 in North Little Rock. The opportunity was initially structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 561790, with a small business size standard of $9 million.

After multiple amendment iterations that adjusted response deadlines and sought clarification on technical details, the solicitation was ultimately canceled effective 15 October 2025 due to ambiguities in the requirement. The solicitation required contractors to be actively registered in SAM and SBA, with SDVOSB & VOSB contractors needing verification in VetCert. Key points of discussion in the amendments included confirming fan locations (both roof and exterior), seeking clarification on the number of hoods per building, and addressing potential cleaning methodologies for the hood and fan systems.
