1. Amendments to the Solicitation.

A. Request for Proposal (RFP) 36C26219R0020 is hereby amended to delete paragraph 1.2 of section B.3, Statement of Work and replace it with the following:

1.2 Task Order Ordering Procedures. Task orders shall be issued against this IDIQ contract and shall be competed amongst all IDIQ contract holders by issuing requests for proposals (RFP) to the IDIQ contract holders. Evaluation criteria used to determine the task order awardee will be included in the task order RFP. RFPs for services required at CBOCs, Vet Centers, ACCs, and administration buildings will include a statement of work that describes the specific requirements for the facility requesting the service and a schedule of services and price specifically for that site. Task orders for janitorial services at the VA medical centers identified in the Schedule in Section B.2 of the contract will be issued for one or more of the line items shown in Section B.2, Schedule of Services and Price. Prices shown in the Schedule of Services and Price are the maximum prices that the Contractor may charge for each line item listed in the Schedule for services provided during the dates shown in the Schedule. The Contractor may propose to provide the Schedule services at less than the Schedule price, but the Contractor shall not propose prices that exceed the Schedule price applicable to the dates that apply to the task order period of performance.

B. RFP 36C26219R0020 is hereby amended to delete paragraph 1.3 of section B.3, Statement of Work and replace it with the following:

1.3. This statement of work describes the services the Contractor shall perform at each healthcare system’s main hospital as identified in Section B.2, Schedule of Services and Price. Task orders issued for services to be performed at the main hospital will be issued for up to 120 work-days with the option to extend for an additional 120 work-days. For the Government to comply with federal law, Contractor shall ensure that individual members of the Contractor’s janitorial staff do not work more than 120 days within a two-year period at any one healthcare system main hospital. Individual staff members may be approved to work up to an additional 120 days, but only after Contractor requests approval from the contracting officer, and approval for additional work days has been provided, in writing, by the contracting officer. Contractor shall monitor the number of days that each staff member has performed work under this contract and shall remove staff members from providing services under this contract when a staff member reaches the limitation on workdays described in this paragraph. This restriction only applies to services performed at the main VA hospitals.

C. RFP 36C26219R0020 is hereby amended to delete paragraph 9.5 of section B.3, Statement of Work and replace it with the following:

9.5. When required, Contractor personnel shall wear special protective clothing and shoe covers, provided by the Government, while working in designated areas. This special clothing and coverings shall be used as specified and then destroyed, as directed by the COR.

E. RFP 36C26219R0020 is hereby updated to read 36C26219R0020 in the header throughout the RFP.
