About this file
This document outlines supplemental contract requirements for combatting COVID-19 for federal contractors working with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Contractors must ensure all employees working in or traveling to VA locations are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or show proof of a negative COVID-19 test within three days prior to entry. Documentation of vaccination or test results must be maintained and available for inspection, but will not be collected by the VA. Contractor employees are also subject to daily COVID-19 screening protocols and may be denied entry if screening questions are not passed. For any task or delivery orders issued under indefinite delivery contracts prior to this modification, contractors must agree to comply with these supplemental requirements when performance has already commenced.
The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation by the VA for a firm-fixed-price construction contract to replace boilers at the Dwight D. Eisenhower VA Medical Center in Leavenworth, Kansas. The project involves replacing four existing water tube boilers and associated piping and support systems with three new energy efficient fire tube boilers, along with auxiliary system replacements in Building 39, fuel oil pump sets, condensate piping, tanks, and asbestos abatement of replaced piping. Responses are due according to the solicitation, with award planned for a single contractor.
