About this file
This file is Amendment 0003 to Request for Quote (RFQ) 36C26226Q1150 for building drone cleaning services at VA Loma Linda Medical System, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22. The amendment extends the response due date to 2:30 PM PST on August 25, 2026, with submissions directed to Stephanie.Naron@va.gov with subject line "RESPONSE TO RFQ 36C26226Q1150." The amendment provides clarifications through Questions and Answers addressing contractor inquiries regarding cleaning methodologies and building-specific scope requirements.
Key clarifications include: S45 parking garage may be cleaned using either drone technology or conventional pressure-washing equipment and/or boom lift as appropriate for surface and access, with the VA scheduling parking garage closure during weekend cleaning to prevent overspray and dirty-water runoff onto parked vehicles. For the main buildings (Buildings 2, 20, 29, 30, 31, and 32), drone cleaning is required on exterior facade and stucco surfaces while windows shall be cleaned by hand using traditional methods, including from permanent protected catwalks and balconies where safely accessible. This solicitation is set aside for small business concerns and requires mandatory compliance with limitations on subcontracting, including a requirement that prime contractors perform at least 50% of total contract cost with their own personnel or certified SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractors, with formal Certificate of Compliance mandatory at initial submission.

The purpose of this amendment 0003 is to extend the response due date and provide additional Questions and Answers.
Submission of your final response shall be received electronically not later than 2:30 PST on 08/25/2026 at Stephanie.Naron@va.gov. Subject line should include “RESPONSE TO RFQ 36C26226Q1150.”
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (16 and 17)
16. Amendment 0002 adds the S45 parking garage to the scope and states that the drone shall be used on stucco, but it does not identify the required cleaning method for the parking garage itself.
Can you please confirm one of the following:
1. S45 is required to be cleaned by drone, or
1. S45 may be cleaned using conventional pressure-washing equipment and/or a boom lift, as appropriate for the surface and access.
S45 can be done with Drone or pressure washing.
If drone cleaning is required for S45, please also confirm whether the VA will provide a vehicle-clearance/closure period during cleaning to prevent overspray and dirty-water runoff onto parked vehicles.
VA will schedule the parking garage to be closed during cleaning on a weekend.
17. The amendment states that the drone shall be used on the stucco and that the windows shall be cleaned by hand. However, we do not see a building-by-building identification of which exterior façade areas are stucco or which surfaces the VA specifically expects to be cleaned by drone.
Could you please clarify, for each of the following locations, which exterior façade/stucco surfaces are included in the drone-cleaning requirement:
1. Building 2 drone shall be used on exterior façade/stucco and that the windows shall be cleaned by hand
1. Building 20 exterior façade/stucco surfaces
1. Building 29 exterior façade/stucco surfaces
1. Building 30 exterior façade/stucco surfaces
1. Building 31 exterior façade/stucco surfaces
1. Building 32 exterior façade/stucco surfaces
1. S45 Parking Garage exterior façade/stucco surfaces For S45 specifically, could you also confirm: VA will schedule the parking garage to be closed during cleaning on a weekend.
1. What exterior surfaces of the parking garage are included in the cleaning scope;
1. Whether any of those surfaces are stucco;
1. Whether the VA specifically requires drone cleaning for S45; and
1. If drone cleaning is required, whether the VA can provide a closure or vehicle-clearance period to prevent overspray and dirty-water runoff onto parked vehicles.
Our team believes the parking garage may be better suited to a boom lift and conventional pressure-washing equipment depending on the surface material and access, so we want to make sure we are pricing the method the VA actually intends. S45 can be done with Drone or pressure washing.
