Clarifications are listed below:

Question: Conflict Regarding Cleaning Height, Section 18.1.(e) specifies the Contractor is responsible for interior windows 12 feet and below, while the Objective/Scope section states cleaning glass up to 8 feet. Could the Government clarify the required maximum height for glass and window cleaning?

Clarification: Updated SOW 02.23.26 posted. It is 12 feet or below.

Question: There is a discrepancy between the Government’s response in Q&A #7 and the building-specific breakdown provided in the Revised PWS. Q&A #7 states there is a total of 627,000 cleanable sq. ft. The Revised PWS breakdown totals 581,002 cleanable sq. ft. (545,000 for RMRVAMC + 10,606 for Fisher House + 25,397 for Valor Point).

Could the Government please clarify which figure is correct? If the 627,000 sq. ft. figure is accurate, please identify the remaining 45,998 sq. ft. of cleanable space and the specific building(s) or areas where this work is located.

Clarification: The remaining square footage is in the Fisher House, with the second floor recently added. See updated PWS.

Question: As the SDVOSB prime contractor, are we permitted to subcontract the performance of this requirement? If so, are there any limitations or percentage requirements we must adhere to under this set-aside?

Clarification: Please refer to the limitations on subcontracts FAR 19 and VAAR 852.219-75 and the Ostensible Rule for Subcontractors.

Question: RFO 52.212-1 Instructions to Offeror “Quoter shall provide the required certificate from the PRIME contractor and is requested as follows: International Executive Housekeeper Association (IHEA) and Certified Executive Housekeeper (CEH) for supervision (see PWS Section 8.1 page 18) or equivalent. The prime contractor program manager must have the requested certification or national equivalent as long as its nationally accredited.” Could you clarify if the certificates are required from the prime contractor or our subcontractor to be provided in our proposal?

Clarification: Please refer to the Limitations on Subcontracts RFO Part 19, VAAR 852.219-75 and the Ostensible Rule for Subcontractors. The Prime contractor cannot be unduly reliant upon their subcontractor that is not similarly situated as defined in 13 C.F.R 125.1. The Prime cannot pay them more than 50% of the contract value for subcontractors that are not similarly situated and must not be unduly reliant upon a subcontractor that is not similarly situated. See 13 C.F.R 125.1.
