About this file
This is Amendment 0001 to Solicitation 36C25726Q0584, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 17 in Temple, Texas on June 10, 2026. The amendment extends the offers due date to June 24, 2026 at 1:00 PM CDT and provides government responses to vendor questions, a site visit sign-in sheet, and site maps for the Temple and Waco VA facilities.
The solicitation concerns grounds maintenance services for VA facilities in Temple and Waco, Texas. Key scope elements include leaf removal, fence line vegetation removal and spraying, removal of overgrown vegetation, and general landscaping maintenance. The government confirmed that mowing, tree trimming/pruning, color/perennials, and mulch are not contractor responsibilities, though tree additions would be handled as separate projects. Contractors may subcontract the work and are permitted to work on Saturdays, after 4:30 PM during weekdays, and on holidays. The requirement is new with no prior contract history. The government clarified that any commercial grounds maintenance experience is acceptable to satisfy the five-year experience requirement, not specifically federal or VA facility experience. Contractors are responsible for determining total acreage and square footage of maintained grounds across both campuses, with the Statement of Work referencing 29,880 SF for entrance areas. Site maps and a site visit sign-in sheet are provided as attachments. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged.
