Amendment 0001 for Chiller Maintenance West Texas VA Health Care System

The purpose of this amendment is to provide

1. Respond to questions received regarding the solicitation

2. Update VAAR 852.219-75 VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting to reflect accurate self-performance percentages for Specialty Trade Contractors.

All other terms and conditions remain the same.

36C25725Q0707 0001 Continuation Page

1. Who is the Incumbent? Johnson Controls, Inc.

2. Past Contract Award #? GS-06F-0060P 36C25721F0001

3. Has the budget been approved for this contract? Yes

4. Is there a scheduled site visit day, date and time? Apologize if I overlooked it. August 28, 2025.

5. Do you have the pricing template in an Excel, pdf or another form to submit back in a clean format? Please see the price/cost schedule in the solicitation.

6. Offerors must know they have 4 hours to repose after the VA contacts them, notifying them of an inoperability.

Given that weather or other conditions may affect response time, is there any flexibility considered? Flexibility will be considered.

7. This contract will also include 2 Johnson/York training courses per year at the customer's request.

What does this mean? Will the contractor schedule the manufacturer's training on-site for VA personnel twice a year? The cost of these training sessions must be included in the contract price. That is correct.

8. Q: Per the solicitation, this contract is identified as NAICS code 238220–Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors. FAR 19.102 Lists this NAICS as a Specialty Trade. VAAR 852.219-75 VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting states SDVOSB contractors shall not subcontract more than 75% for specialty trades. If the FAR, SBA and US Bureau of Labor Statistics (https://www.bls.gov/oes/2023/may/naics3_238000.htm) classify this NAICS Code as a specialty trade, the Limitations on Subcontracting should only require a 25% minimum self performance on behalf of the SDVOSB prime, rather than 50% for Services.

Please advise if the VA will make this adjustment to the Solicitation. Please see the updated VAAR 852.219-75.

VAAR 852.219-75 VA NOTICE OF LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING—

CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE FOR SERVICES AND CONSTRUCTION

(JAN 2023) (DEVIATION)

(a) Pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127(l)(2), the offeror certifies that—

(1) If awarded a contract (see FAR 2.101 definition), it will comply with the limitations on subcontracting requirement as provided in the solicitation and the resultant contract, as follows:

(i) [] Services. In the case of a contract for services (except construction), the contractor will not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–73 or certified VOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–74. Any work that a similarly situated certified SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the 50% subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Other direct costs may be excluded to the extent they are not the principal purpose of the acquisition and small business concerns do not provide the service as set forth in 13 CFR 125.6.

(ii) [] General construction. In the case of a contract for general construction, the contractor will not pay more than 85% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–73 or certified VOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–74. Any work that a similarly situated certified SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the 85% subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Cost of materials are excluded and not considered to be subcontracted.

(iii) [X] Special trade construction contractors. In the case of a contract for special trade contractors, the contractor will not pay more than 75% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–73 or certified VOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–

74. Any work that a similarly situated certified SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the 75% subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Cost of materials are excluded and not considered to be subcontracted.

(2) The offeror acknowledges that this certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an Agency of the United States. The offeror further acknowledges that this certification is subject to Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001, and, as such, a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the offeror subject to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties, including prosecution.

(3) If VA determines that an SDVOSB/ VOSB awarded a contract pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127 did not act in good faith, such SDVOSB/VOSB shall be subject to any or all of the following:

(i) Referral to the VA Suspension and Debarment Committee;

(ii) A fine under section 16(g)(1) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 645(g)(1)); and

(iii) Prosecution for violating 18 U.S.C. 1001.

(b) The offeror represents and understands that by submission of its offer and award of a contract it may be required to provide copies of documents or records to VA that VA may review to determine whether the offeror complied with the limitations on subcontracting requirement specified in the contract. Contracting officers may, at their discretion, require the contractor to demonstrate its compliance with the limitations on subcontracting at any time during performance and upon completion of a contract if the information regarding such compliance is not already available to the contracting officer. Evidence of compliance includes, but is not limited to, invoices, copies of subcontracts, or a list of the value of tasks performed.

(c) The offeror further agrees to cooperate fully and make available any documents or records as may be required to enable VA to determine compliance with the limitations on subcontracting requirement. The offeror understands that failure to provide documents as requested by VA may result in remedial action as the Government deems appropriate.

(d) Offeror completed certification/fill-in required. The formal certification must be completed, signed and returned with the offeror’s bid, quotation, or proposal. The Government will not consider offers for award from offerors that do not provide the certification, and all such responses will be deemed ineligible for evaluation and award.

Certification: I hereby certify that if awarded the contract, [insert name of offeror]____________ will comply with the limitations on subcontracting specified in this clause and in the resultant contract. I further certify that I am authorized to execute this certification on behalf of [insert name of offeror]_______________.
