9930--Supply of Monuments and Inscription Services- Medal of Honor

The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration is seeking sources for a contract to supply Medal of Honor headstones and markers through a single indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract. The procurement will focus on cut stone and stone product manufacturing, specifically requiring upright and flat marble and granite monuments with inscriptions, packaging, and shipping to destinations primarily within the United States. This sources sought notice is a market research tool designed to identify potential qualified vendors in the cut stone manufacturing sector (NAICS 327991) with a size standard of 500 employees. Interested businesses are requested to submit company information, business size details, and capabilities by May 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST to Weston Worsham via email. The contract will consist of one base year with four additional one-year option periods, with the VA evaluating potential vendors' ability to meet the technical requirements and perform the necessary services.

The procurement has a specific preference for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) or Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), with the potential for a set-aside solicitation if market research confirms at least two qualified SDVOSB/VOSB vendors can perform the work at a fair and reasonable price. While no specific award value is mentioned in the notice, the contract will involve manufacturing and delivering monuments with precise inscriptions for Medal of Honor recipients. The VA will use 38 U.S.C. 8127 as a potential basis for setting aside the contract to veteran-owned businesses. The notice emphasizes that this is not a formal solicitation, but rather a preliminary market research effort to inform future procurement strategies. Vendors interested in this opportunity should carefully review the requirements and be prepared to demonstrate their capabilities in stone monument manufacturing and inscription services.
