About this file
This is an Amendment to Solicitation for a Department of Veterans Affairs federal contract opportunity. Solicitation 36C26326B0033, issued by VA Network Contracting Office 23 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, concerns the "Update Electrical Equipment on Campus" project (Project Number 568A4-24-202). The solicitation amendment, numbered 0001 and effective August 10, 2026, does not extend the proposal submission deadline, which remains August 31, 2026, at 2:00 PM Central Time. The contracting officer is Angela Frost (Angela.Frost2@va.gov; 651-293-3070).
The amendment makes four substantive changes to the solicitation: (1) provides the pre-bid site visit meeting agenda, (2) includes the site visit attendee sign-in sheet, (3) incorporates government responses to contractor questions and provides supplemental technical documents including electrical switchboard drawings for Buildings 10 and 12, drawout breaker specifications, and a 39-page geotechnical report, and (4) replaces VAAR 852.204-72 Personnel Vetting and Credentialing (March 2026) with the updated June 2026 version. The revised personnel vetting clause establishes requirements for contractor personnel background investigations commensurate with risk and sensitivity levels, mandates PIV card issuance and security protocols, requires initial employee roster submission within 10 business days of award and quarterly status reports, and obligates contractors to immediately remove unsuitable employees and restrict their access to VA facilities and systems. All terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain in effect except as modified herein.

VAAR 852.204-72 PERSONNEL VETTING AND CREDENTIALING (JUN
2026) (DEVIATION)
(a) Definitions. As used in this clause –
VA Information system is the same as information system and means, pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 5727, a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information whether automated or manual.
VA sensitive information means all VA data, on any storage media or in any form or format, which requires protection due to the risk of harm that could result from inadvertent or deliberate disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the information and includes sensitive personal information. The term includes information where improper use or disclosure could adversely affect the ability of VA to accomplish its mission, proprietary information, records about individuals requiring protection under various confidentiality provisions such as the Privacy Act and the HIPAA Privacy Rule, and information that can be withheld under the Freedom of Information Act. Examples of VA sensitive information include the following: individually-identifiable medical, benefits, and personnel information; financial, budgetary, research, quality assurance, confidential commercial, critical infrastructure, investigatory, and law enforcement information; information that is confidential and privileged in litigation such as information protected by the deliberative process privilege, attorney work-product privilege, and the attorney-client privilege; and other information which, if released, could result in violation of Attachment-Supplement to Class Deviation law or harm or unfairness to any individual or group, or could adversely affect the national interest or the conduct of Federal programs.
(b) General. Contractor personnel assigned to work for or on behalf of VA must undergo a background investigation commensurate with the risk and sensitivity level designation associated with the work to be performed at the level indicated in the contract.
The Contractor and subcontractors must comply with VA Directive/Handbook 0710, Personnel Security and Suitability Program, which can be accessed at:
https://vaww.va.gov/vapubs/index.cfm.
(c) Risk and Sensitivity Levels. The following table identifies the risk and sensitivity levels that apply to any personnel providing services under this contract.
*VA Administrations, organizations and staff offices will use the OPM Position Designation Tool.
Positions/Tasks Designated as Non-Sensitive Positions – Tier 1/Low Risk All positions fulfilling a task are Tier 1/Low Risk
Security clearances are granted to individuals with a specific requirement for access to classified material (for example, Confidential, Secret and Top Secret). Contractor https://vaww.va.gov/vapubs/index.cfm https://pdt.nbis.mil/consent https://pdt.nbis.mil/consent personnel that are required to obtain a security clearance will be subject to a Tier 3 or Tier 5 investigation. The following sensitivity designations have been assigned for the identified Tier 3 and Tier 5 required by this contract:
Tier 3: Not applicable
Tier 5: Not applicable
(d) Fitness. The results from a background investigation are used to determine if an individual’s fitness is sufficient for that individual to perform work for or on behalf of VA in the position identified in this contract. Contractor fitness determinations are made in accordance with 5 CFR Part 731.202. Fitness requirements for employment are separate and distinct from job qualifications. If a Contractor or subcontractor employee is found to be unsuitable or unfit to provide services under this contract, the Contractor must immediately remove the employee from working on this contract and take those necessary steps that restrict the employee’s logical access to VA data, information, VA sensitive information, or information technology or VA information systems containing such data or information. The Contractor must advise the employee that they are not permitted to access any VA controlled building or real property in relation to this contract. The removal of an unfit Contractor or subcontractor employee does not alleviate the Contractor from satisfying the requirements of this contract. The Government will not reimburse the Contractor for any costs associated with the recruitment/replacement of an employee or subcontractor employee who is found to be unfit.
(e) Identification Cards. The Government will provide a Personal Identification Verification (PIV) card or other identification card, as necessary, to fit Contractor personnel who require unescorted physical access to VA facilities and/or logical access to VA data, information, VA sensitive information, or information technology or VA information systems containing such data or information or information. Contractor and subcontractor personnel must prominently display their PIV/identification card on their persons while working at a VA facility and must present their PIV/identification card for inspection upon request by a VA official. The Contractor must surrender the employee or subcontractor employee’s PIV/identification card to the PIV sponsor of record, contracting officer’s representative (COR), or a Personal Credential Facility (PCIF) when any of the following occur:
1. When no longer needed for contract performance.
2. Upon completion of the Contractor/subcontractor employee’s employment.
3. Upon contract completion or termination.
(f) Lost/stolen. Immediately upon detection, the Contractor must report a lost or stolen PIV/identification card to the Government authorities such as the PIV sponsor of record, COR or a PCIF as identified in Directive/Handbook 0735. Within 48 hours of reporting the lost/stolen PIV/identification card, the Contractor must submit to the PIV sponsor of record, COR or PCIF an incident report that describes the relevant facts and circumstances regarding the loss/theft. If the loss/theft was reported by the Contractor to the local police, the Contractor must submit a copy of the final police report to the PIV sponsor of record, or COR or PCIF within 48 hours of the report being made available by the local police department. The Government will not reimburse the Contractor for any costs that result from lost/stolen PIV/identification card(s).
(g) Regular Reporting. The Contractor must submit an initial list of all contractor/subcontractor employees performing under the contract to the PIV sponsor within 10 business days of contract award, or exercise of option period. Any changes in contractor/subcontractor employees performing under the contract must be reported in a quarterly status report to PIV Sponsor within 5 business days after the end of each calendar quarter or as requested by the Government (i.e. in order to initiate contract closeout procedures, compliance checks, etc.) The report must provide the status of each contractor/subcontractor employee who is required to have a PIV/identification card during the performance of the contract. The report must identify the Contractor and the contract number, and list the following status for each contractor/subcontractor employee who holds a PIV/identification card under this contract:
1. Contractor/subcontractor employee name.
2. Name of VA facility where Contractor/subcontractor employee works, if applicable.
3. Date background check submitted for Contractor/subcontractor employee.
4. Date PIV/identification card issued to Contractor/subcontractor employee.
5. Contractor/subcontractor employee’s PIV/identification card number, as applicable.
6. Date Contractor/subcontractor employee no longer has need for
PIV/identification card.
7. Date Contractor notified VA that PIV/identification card is no longer required.
8. Date Contractor returned PIV/identification card was returned to VA.
(h) Flow down of clause. The Contractor must include the substance of this clause in subcontracts, third-party agreements, and BAA’s, in which subcontractors, third-party services/employees, and business associates will perform functions where they will have un-escorted, physical access to a VA facility or logical access to VA data, information, VA sensitive information, or information technology or VA information system containing such data or information.
