About this file

This is Amendment 0002 to a solicitation issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration Contracting Services for an SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business) set-aside contract. The amendment, effective June 12, 2026, corrects an error in Amendment 0001 by clarifying that the due date and time for quotation submissions remain unchanged from the original combined synopsis solicitation. The solicitation number is 36C78626Q50190, and the contracting officer is Sarah Poole.

The amendment addresses two questions submitted by potential quoters regarding small business labor requirements. The first question clarifies the distinction between FAR 52.219-14 (which applies to all small businesses government-wide) and VAAR 852.219-75 (which is specific to VA contracts and applies only to SDVOSBs/VOSBs for this procurement). The second question addresses pricing markup methodology, with the contracting officer reiterating that the contractor will not pay more than 50% of the amount the Government pays to non-VIP-listed SDVOSB or VOSB firms, and directing quoters with additional questions to contact the Small Business Administration. Potential quoters are reminded to include a signed and dated copy of this amendment in their quotation packages.

The purpose of this Amendment is to answer questions submitted by Potential Quoters and to correct an error on Amendment 0001. The previous amendment reflected that the due date had been extended, but this is incorrect; the due date/time remains the same as specified in the combined synopsis solicitation.

Reminder: Include a signed and date copy of this amendment, and any potential future amendments, in your quotation package.

Sarah Poole Contracting Officer

CONTINUATION PAGE

The following questions were received from Potential Quoters, along with the corresponding answers:

Question 1 – We are familiar with FAR 52.219-14 that prohibits a large business from performing more than 50% of the labor. Is VAAR 852.219- 75 the same?

Answer 1 – FAR 52.219-14 is not agency specific and applies to all Small Businesses, whereas VAAR 852.219-75 is specific to VA contracts and applies to SDVOSB/VOSBs (for this contract it is SDVOSBs). This requirement is set aside for SDVOSBs only.

Question 2 – Is the SDVOSB prime allowed to mark up the price by 101% to hit the requirement?

Answer 2 – I am unable to elaborate on the meaning of these clauses or tell you how to do business, I can only re-iterate that that the contractor will not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the Government to its firms that are not VIP-listed SDVOSB or VOSBs. If you have any additional questions regarding these clauses, I recommend that you reach out to SBA.
