36C78626Q50131 -- S206

The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration issued Amendment 0003 to solicitation 36C78626Q50131 on May 24, 2026, for unarmed security guard services with patrol vehicle at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona, with quotes due June 5, 2026; the procurement is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses.

The amendment publishes answers to vendor questions and the vendor site visit sign-in sheet. One uniformed guard per shift provides 24/7 continuous coverage with fixed access monitoring, mobile patrol (three 45-minute patrols per shift), incident response, visitor assistance, and ceremony support. Incident response ranks as the highest operational priority, followed by funeral and ceremony support, vehicle patrol, and main gate monitoring. Contractors develop patrol routes with emphasis on public information areas, committal shelter loops, and high-traffic sections, with expansion to all paved cemetery areas after hours permitted. Government-issued radios are required only during Administration Office operating hours (8:00 AM to 4:30 PM); contractors maintain security operations without radios during nights, weekends, federal holidays, and office closures. GPS tracking, geofencing, and electronic guard tour systems are optional. Meal and rest breaks may be taken while maintaining radio readiness without dedicated relief coverage. This is a firm-fixed-price contract with no overtime reimbursement; the 30-day phase-in period is included in base pricing. Contractors provide patrol vehicles with company identification, bearing all fuel, maintenance, repair, insurance, and operating costs. Personnel must meet Arizona state licensing requirements and background screening suitable for National Cemetery work. The incumbent is Culpepper & Associates Security Services, Inc. (dba CASS). Offerors must acknowledge receipt of the amendment prior to submission.
