The purpose of this amendment is to reply Question 1 by replacing the Section E.3 Sample Submission Information completely with the instructions on the following page.

Question 1: On page 33 under the sample review form it shows that the evaluation will be on a blank marble stone, but on page 35 it is asking for an engraved sample with raised lettering. Could you please clarify what sample needs to be submitted?

A. Please see information on the following page.

Katherine Iacovelli Contract Officer

Sample Submission Information Potential offerors shall submit at Contractor expense one downsized blank “U1” sample (13” x 24” x 3/4”) representative of the marble to be used in the production of headstones under the contract. The marble sample shall conform to government specifications to include top crown, radiused edges, etc. The sample shall be marked on the back with a permanent marker to show Contractor’s name, telephone number, solicitation number, and email address. Any sample not properly marked, or which arrives damaged shall not be accepted and excluded from further consideration. All samples are best and final, and the offerors will not be allowed to submit another sample if a sample is deemed unacceptable.

The sample must be manufactured and packaged to prevent any damage during shipment. Samples must be accompanied by a statement identifying the brand name and grit rating for the pad or stone used to produce the final finish.

Failure to meet any of the requirements shall result in the rejection of the sample. The sample shall establish the acceptable product for material, finish and dimensions to be used in production; and shall be the basis for comparison of those products.

NO samples shall be accepted after the closing date.

Note: All samples should be manufactured using the dimensions noted above. Full size samples will NOT be accepted and will be refused at delivery.

Note: If a potential offeror submits multiple samples from different quarries, upon award of the contract, the Contractor must commit to one quarry for production. If the Contractor needs to transition to another quarry during the term of the contract, refer to 4.6 for process.

Once submitted, samples become the property of the Department of Veterans Affairs and shall not be returned. Submit samples and test results, if required, to the following address:

National Cemetery Administration Quantico National Cemetery

(Attn: Memorial Products Service) 18424 Joplin Road

Triangle, VA 22172
