About this file

This document is a Solicitation Amendment (Standard Form 30) for a Drawing and Digitization Services Contract issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration. The solicitation (36C78625Q50151) seeks a contractor to digitize and index drawing documents from an estimated 64 cemeteries, with most documents (98%) in black and white and a small percentage (2%) in color. Document sizes range from ARCH E1 (30"x42") to ARCH B (12"x18"), and the contractor may perform services either on-site or at an off-site facility approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR).

Key details include a closing date/time of 03/13/2025 at 16:00 ET, with the amendment providing clarifications to contractor questions about project scope, quantities, and requirements. The solicitation is set aside for small businesses, and offerors must acknowledge the amendment. The project involves scanning source documents, potentially creating digital indexes, and handling materials from multiple cemeteries in the Midwest District. Pricing will be based on unit prices, though the total quantity of pages is currently unspecified, which may impact cost estimation.

CONTINUATION PAGE

1. On page 4 of the Solicitation, Section 1 Continuation Sheet, it appears that a request for a Unit

Price and a Total is being requested. However, when describing the details of the project in the

SoW, it states “Total quantity of pages is unknown.” It also states that the sizes vary from

“ARCH E1 30”x42” Drawings (typical), some as small as ARCH B 12”x18””. Additionally the SoW states, “If the source material is in color the scan shall also be in color.” In the absence of details, it seems unpredictable to know if the timeframe for project completion is reasonable, and extremely challenging to provide a fair price. Therefore, please provide the following information:

i. See attached photo of documents

b. What is the total quantity for each size in black & white?

i. 98% of documents are B&W

c. What is the total quantity for each size in color?

i. 2% of documents are Color

d. In order to price the indexing, please provide a quantities for each folder?

i. There shall be a folder for each cemetery. There are an estimated 64 cemeteries.

2. In the SoW it states, “As an Alternate, the contractor may provide services off-site at a contractor operated / leased facility approved by the COR.” How do we obtain approval from the COR?

a. COR approves taking the documents off site.

3. In the Instructions to Offerors, it mentions “Interested Offerors who claim SDVOSB or VOSB status shall provide (1) document stating their compliance with PL 116-183. Failure to comply will result in the offeror being ineligible for award.” If we do not claim either of these status and are a small business concern, will our offer remain eligible for award?

This can be disregarded the solicitation is a small business set aside.
