About this file
The document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) Matrix for a federal solicitation (SP470326Q0009) for lead paint stripping at Defense Supply Center Richmond (DSCR) Building 98. The solicitation is a Request for Quote (RFQ) set aside for 100% small businesses in the Toxic Chemical Remediation industry (NAICS 562910), with a firm-fixed price award and 120-day performance period. Key details include a requirement for contractors to have a physical office within a 120-mile radius of DSCR, with award determined by lowest-priced, technically acceptable (LPTA) criteria.
The Q&A matrix addresses specific technical questions about the project, including confirmation that paint stripping is limited to ceiling surfaces, existing equipment to remain in place, ceiling height (25-26 feet), and work conditions. Notably, the building will not be vacant during work, with room contents being relocated as the contractor progresses. The contractor must provide standalone negative air systems, subcontract third-party clearance testing, and protect existing equipment with protective film. DSCR will move removable contents, while the contractor must propose a phasing plan. Questions are due by 5 December 2025, with quotes due by 12 December 2025, and the project is subject to FY26 funding availability.
