About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration is soliciting quotes for the manufacture, inscription, and delivery of F1 flat marble markers through solicitation number 36C78625Q0096. The contract requires contractors to produce 12" x 24" x 3/4" white marble markers using air blast abrasion inscription methods, with all materials sourced from U.S. quarries and meeting specific quality standards including uniform white coloration (N8.75-N9 on the Munsell scale). The firm-fixed price contract includes one base year and four one-year option periods, covering October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2030, with delivery requirements of 26 calendar days for continental U.S. destinations and 15 calendar days for overseas locations. Evaluation will be conducted through a comparative assessment of technical approach, past performance, and pricing, with the government selecting the quote providing the best overall benefit. The solicitation has undergone multiple amendments addressing questions about marble color changes from gray to white, sample dimensions, and clarifying this as a supply contract rather than a service contract. Quotes are due by July 25, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. CST, with potential contractors required to submit comprehensive documentation including a physical marble sample, technical proposals, past performance references, and pricing schedules.
This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 327991 (Cut Stone and Stone Product Manufacturing) with a business size standard of 500 employees. No current incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation documents. The estimated contract value totals $10,000 across all years, with annual quantities increasing from 3,450 F1 markers in the base year to 5,052 markers in the fourth option year, plus additional requirements for OCONUS crating and assessorial charges. The contract also includes provisions for expedited delivery services, liftgate services, inside delivery, and redelivery/reconsignment as needed. Performance will take place at the contractor's facility, with markers delivered FOB destination to various locations including the specified address at 981 Southpark Dr, Littleton, CO 80120. The solicitation emphasizes that 50% of actual salaries and wages must come from the prime contractor's direct employees as part of the small business set-aside requirements.

Questions and Answers:
Q: The sample in the combined synopsis is asking for a 24 Â x 13 stone engraved. The F1 marker is a 24 x12 stone. Would you still like the sample to be 24 x 13 or should we make it 24 x 12 ?
A: Sample dimensions shall be: Width - 24 in., Thickness - 3/4 in. and Height - 12 in. The combined synopsis/solicitation document has been revised to reflect this and is attached separately to this amendment.
Q: In the Statement of Work, 5.4 Performance Period, it states the contractor will have 26 calendar days for manufacture and deliver CONUS. But on 8.1 Normal Delivery: it states, "All markers shall be manufactured and placed on a transportation carrier for delivery within 26 calendar days."Â Which do you want?
A: Section 8.1 has been revised to match Section 5.4. See revised SOW.
Q: Why do you have this contract as a Service Contract instead of a Supply Contract? It is clear by the statement of work that this is classic example of a Supply Contract. 3.0 General: "The contractor shall be responsible for providing all labor and materials needed to manufacture, inscribe, package, palletize and deliver. (providing a tangible finished product). 3.0 Unit price: "the unit price is all-inclusive and covers the completed monuments delivered FOB destination." Again an all inclusive tangible finished product. This is much different than for instance an on-site engraving contract where the government is furnishing stones and the contractor is only doing the engraving. That is clearly a service contract. This contract is for an all-inclusive delivered finished product and the core purpose of the contract is for the government and its veterans to receive finished goods. I'm pretty sure this was litigated a few years back and it was determined that these contracts are in fact Supply Contracts.
A: The NAICS used for this requirement is 327991, Cut Stone and Stone Product Manufacturing, and the PSC is 9930, Memorials; Cemeterial and Mortuary Equipment and Supplies. Reference to the Service Contract Act Wage Determinations and Attachment D are removed from the solicitation. The combined synopsis/solicitation document has been revised to reflect this.
