Richelle N. Gray Contracting Officer

VA-VHA-RPOC-2023-0041

The following information is provided in this amendment:

1. Initial responses to technical questions. See attached: 0003 - 596-22-700 Responses to Tech Questions - 8-12-25. Additional responses and updated documents will be provided in a future amendment as noted by the highlighted items in the attached tracker.

2. We are working to answer late technical questions along with the other outstanding questions.

Responses to late questions are not guaranteed, but any that can be provided will be included in a future amendment. Any new questions submitted henceforth will not be considered.

3. The bid due date has been extended to allow additional time to provide tech question responses and updated documents. See block 11. Due to time constraints with the end of FY imminent, the VA does not plan to extend beyond this date, so prepare bids accordingly.

4. The applicable wage rates have been updated. See attached: 0003 - 596-22-700 DBA Wages - Fayette County - 08-08-2025.

5. The following changes have been made to the solicitation:

• The Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) removed FAR clause 52.211-6. Therefore, this by-reference clause has been removed from the solicitation.

• Section 2.8, item (c)(11) of the solicitation has been revised as follows:

2.8 PREPARATION OF BIDS

(c) Bid package contents.

(11) Notice to SDVOSB Joint Venture/Mentor-Protégé. Any offeror submitting a bid as a joint venture must provide a copy of the joint venture agreement, as well as a certification from the certified SDVOSB joint partner, signed by an authorized official of each partner to the joint venture, stating that the parties to the joint venture (i) have entered into a joint venture agreement that fully complies with paragraph (c) of 13 CFR § 128.402, and (ii) will perform the contract in compliance with the joint venture agreement. Failure to submit the agreement and certification with the offeror’s bid may result in the offer being deemed nonresponsive and therefore ineligible for award.

• VetCert is no longer the program of record for verifying SDVOSB status. SBA’s Small Business Search (SBS) is the only up-to-date database. Section 2.9 of the solicitation has been revised as follows:

2.9 SDVOSB CERTIFICATION

To be considered eligible to receive award of a resulting contract, offerors must be certified as SDVOSBs by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and listed in the SBA certification database at the time of bid submission and at time of award. Offers received from entities that are not certified SDVOSBs will not be considered. Failure to be certified at the time of bid submission and at time of award will result in the offer being deemed nonresponsive.
