About this file

This document is an Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract (Standard Form 30) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 17, located in San Antonio, Texas. The amendment number is 0002, effective March 25, 2026, and pertains to solicitation 36C25726Q0322, originally dated March 11, 2026. The requisition/purchase request number is 549-26-2-5236-0053.

The purpose of this amendment is to post questions and answers related to a uniforms procurement for the North Texas VA facility. The Q&A addresses seven vendor inquiries regarding embroidered polo shirts (Red Kap Style #SK96). Key clarifications include: (1) no digital design files or stitch count requirements will be provided; vendors must determine thread counts historically; (2) the facility lacks software to provide artwork dimensions or stitch counts for logos; (3) Size Small (S) is acceptable in place of XS for items 0001 and 0011, as the SK96 model is only produced in sizes S–6XL; (4) no specific height and width requirements exist for the VA Eagle Logo or lettering as long as they fit the shirt sides as outlined in the Statement of Work; (5) there are no stitch count requirements; (6) vendors may propose direct equal brands if they meet performance, appearance, color, and embroidery standards, with samples requiring facility approval and submission to Dallas VA Medical Center, 4500 S. Lancaster Rd., ATTN: Erical Hollowell, BLDG 5, Dallas, TX 75216. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment prior to the hour and date specified in the original solicitation or as amended.

Melanie Williams Contracting Officer

1. Can you provide a dst file or vector art file of the embroidered artwork so we can determine the thread count for this project?

ANSWER: No, there is no file for this. Historically, the contract is submitted with what is needed to be embroidered and the vendors would provide the thread count.

2. Could you please provide the embroidery artwork images for below and the artwork dimensions or stitch count for all embroidery logos?

a. “North Texas VA: Above VA Eagle Logo with “Nutrition & Food Service” Under VA Logo on Left Chest. “Cook” Right Chest

b. “North Texas VA” Above VA Eagle Logo with “Nutrition & Food Service” Under VA Logo on Left Chest. “Cook Supervisor” Right Chest.

ANSWER: The facility does not have the software to produce the artwork dimensions or stitch count for embroider logos. Images have been provided within the Statement of Work.

3. We request clarification on the following item:

XS Size Availability (Items 0001 and 0011) The Statement of Work specifies Red Kap SK96 polos in XS for the following:

• Item 0001 – Medium Blue – XS – Qty 10

• Item 0011 – Hunter Green – XS – Qty 10 Our review of manufacturer specifications indicates that the SK96 model is produced in sizes S–6XL only.

Please confirm whether:

(a) Size Small (S) is acceptable in place of XS for these items; or

(b) An equivalent pocketless performance polo in XS from a comparable manufacturer would be acceptable.

ANSWER: Size small is acceptable for line items 00001 and 0011.

4. Logo Dimensions: What are the required height and width dimensions for the VA Eagle Logo?

ANSWER: The service does not have a height and width requirement as long as the logo and lettering fit on the respective side of the shirts as outlined within the Statement of Work.

5. Lettering Specifications: What is the required height and width for the text “North Texas VA”, “Nutrition & Food Service”, and the specific position titles (e.g., “Food Service Worker Supervisor”)?

ANSWER: The service does not have a height and width requirement as long as the logo and lettering fit on the respective side of the shirts as outlined within the Statement of Work.

6. Mock-up Accuracy: While the solicitation provides visual examples, are there specific “stitch count” requirements or a high-resolution digital file of the logo available for the participating vendors?

ANSWER: There are no stitch count requirements.

7. Can what is be a direct equal brand and quality for the polos, Red Kap Style #SK96, if it meets the same performance, appearance, color, and embroidery standards?

ANSWER: If there are changes to the polo before the facility agrees, samples will be asked for to ensure what is being offered is the right type of shirt for employees.

Samples can be mailed to:

Dallas VA Medical Center 4500 S. Lancaster Rd.

ATTN: Erical Hollowell, BLDG 5 Dallas, TX 75216
