This is an amendment to a previous combined solicitation for sewer and grease trap cleaning services issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 16, located in Houston, Texas. The solicitation number is 36C25626Q0216, classified under Product Service Code J045 and NAICS Code 562998, with a size standard of $16.5 million. The amendment extends the quote submission deadline to March 13, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time and provides an updated site plan along with vendor questions and answers addressing technical specifications of the work.

Key service requirements include jetting 1,700 feet of piping, with pipes ranging from 8 inches to 11 inches in diameter between the building and manholes. The facility includes three grease trap systems: new 600-gallon tank, temporary 200-gallon tank, and existing 500-gallon manholes. The vendor must provide water for the jetting operation, as none is available onsite, and a jetter truck is required. A site visit was offered on March 5, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., highly recommended but not mandatory. The previous contractor, Mid-South Septic Service, held a contract valued at $45,000.00 under a base plus four-year option structure that was not fully exercised due to scope changes. This requirement is unrestricted and will be awarded to the lowest priced quotation meeting minimum requirements. Quotes must be submitted electronically to Contracting Specialist Michelle Atwell at michelle.atwell@va.gov.
