DESCRIPTION

This sources sought announcement is to conduct market research for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), National Cemetery Administration (NCA) which is seeking information from all small business socioeconomic categories that are interested in performing construction services. The NCA operates and maintains 155 national cemeteries within five districts – Pacific District, Continental District, Midwest District, Southeast District, and North Atlantic District.

The information gathered from this notice will be used to determine if Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses, Veteran Owned Small Businesses, and other small business concerns who are verified in construction categories, are qualified and interested in participating in a future multiple award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the NCA.

Construction Services solicited under the IDIQ contract pool(s) may include:

Maintenance and Repairs (M&R) Projects: Normal annual maintenance to keep a building or structure operational. Examples include:

• Annual building equipment maintenance, such as HVAC filter replacement, system tune-ups, etc.

• Roof-shingle replacement or gutter cleaning

• Wall or touch-up painting

• Minor road repair such as pothole filling

Nonrecurring Maintenance (NRM) Projects: Maintenance that is non-recurring that includes the replacement, repair, alteration, or improvement of physical infrastructure (real property).

Examples include:

• One-for-one replacement of the major components of a building, such as roofing, tuck-pointing, flashings and copings, exterior finish materials (e.g., brick, masonry, stucco, vinyl), waterproofing, or windows and doors.

• One-for-one replacement of complete, or segments of, building components such as an entire roof; floor coverings, wall coverings, and ceilings; or heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system or water heater.

• Repaving large sections of cemetery roads.
