1095--RFQ VA Police Firearms Accessories VA VISN 23-Amendment 0001

The Special Notice is Amendment 0001 to RFQ 36C26325R0057 for VA Police Firearms Accessories, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 23. This amendment modifies an existing Request for Quote for procurement of police firearms accessories specifically for VA Health Care Systems within the network. The original RFQ seeks to acquire holsters, optics, and weapon-mounted lights for Sig Sauer P320 firearms across multiple VA facilities including Fargo, Sioux Falls, Minneapolis, Nebraska-Western Iowa, Central Iowa, Iowa City, and St. Cloud. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 332994 for Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing and PSC code 1095 for Miscellaneous Weapons. The solicitation is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting the VA's commitment to supporting veteran-owned enterprises.

The amendment serves to correct and clarify several aspects of the original solicitation while extending key deadlines for contractor participation. The questions deadline has been extended to 3:00 PM EST on July 17, 2025, with the RFQ closing at 11:59 PM EST on July 20, 2025. Amendment 0001 corrects multiple Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for holsters, models, and part numbers, and removes "HL" from certain Stream Light TLR-1 light descriptions to ensure accurate product specifications. Only Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses are eligible to participate in this procurement opportunity. The contract period spans from July 23, 2025, to July 22, 2026, with quantities ranging from 2 to 56 units per line item depending on the specific facility requirements. The VA indicates that additional questions have been received and that another amendment with answers will be forthcoming to provide further clarification to potential bidders.
