About this file

This document outlines supplemental contract requirements for combatting COVID-19 at Department of Veterans Affairs facilities. Contractors must ensure employees working in or traveling to VA locations are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or provide a negative COVID-19 test result from within the prior three days. Acceptable proof of vaccination or test results must be maintained by each employee while on site and be available for inspection. Contractor employees are also subject to daily COVID-19 screening protocols and may be denied entry if they fail. For contracts where performance has already begun, contractors must comply with these supplemental requirements for any existing task or delivery orders.

The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation to abate asbestos at various Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers in Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 during the first quarter of 2022.

VHA Supplemental Contract Requirements for Combatting COVID-19

1. Contractor employees who work in or travel to VHA locations must comply with the following:

i. NOTE: Acceptable proof of vaccination includes a signed record of immunization from a health care provider or pharmacy, a copy of the COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card (CDC Form MLS-319813_r, published on September 3, 2020), or a copy of medical records documenting the vaccination.

2) If unvaccinated, contractors shall show negative COVID-19 test results dated within three calendar days prior to desired entry date. Test must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for emergency use or full approval. This includes tests available by a doctor’s order or an FDA approved over-the-counter test that includes an affiliated telehealth service.
