This document is Amendment 0001 to a federal solicitation (36C26327Q0054) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23, for a duplex strainer at the Minneapolis VA Medical Clinic. The amendment was issued on October 26, 2026, with an effective date of the same date, and the quote deadline remains October 30, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central Time. The solicitation is a small business set-aside for Brand Name or Equal to the Keckley Duplex Basket Strainer (Keckley P/N 2RFFD-FCS125P34-920 and FT-920-Gasket).
The amendment provides clarifications to vendor questions regarding technical specifications, procurement rules, and delivery requirements.

The NAICS code is 333415 with a size standard of 1,250 employees. FAR 52.219-33 (Nonmanufacturer Rule) applies only to proposals for the Keckley Duplex Strainer from nonmanufacturers. The VA will provide loading dock and unloading equipment for items not exceeding 2,000 pounds under FOB Destination delivery terms. For quotations of the exact Brand Name Keckley equipment, manufacturer documentation alone is sufficient to demonstrate compliance; salient characteristics narratives are required only for "Equal To" proposals. The amendment clarifies that small business resellers providing exact Keckley equipment with manufacturer documentation and required warranty are acceptable. Offerors must sign and return the amendment to robert.bennett8@va.gov to remain eligible for consideration.
