Amendment 0001 – Solicitation 36C78626Q0122 – Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery

The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration is soliciting on-site inscription services for Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in a Total Small Business set-aside IDIQ contract, with quotations due October 19, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time. Amendment 0001, posted October 7, 2026, addresses submitted questions and clarifies pricing for reverse (R2) inscriptions: when front and reverse inscriptions are ordered together as part of an initial order, the unit price is all-inclusive with no separate R2 line item; the R2 line item applies only when reverse inscriptions are subsequently ordered separately on existing headstones with previously completed front inscriptions.

Place of performance is Lemay Township, Missouri. The NAICS code is 561990, All Other Support Services, with a $16.5 million business size standard. The Government intends to award a firm-fixed-price IDIQ contract with a ten-month base period (December 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and four one-year option periods through September 30, 2031.

Quoters must submit four separate documents: three Adobe Acrobat PDFs (Volumes A–C, with technical evaluation limited to 40 pages maximum) and one Excel spreadsheet (Volume D, Price/Cost Schedule). Technical evaluation assesses relevant experience, managerial and technical qualifications of key personnel, work plan and staffing approach, quality control procedures, and safety practices. Past performance evaluation requires up to five references using the Past Performance Questionnaire for similar services performed within the past five years. Quoters must also submit physical samples: one upright marble sample (24" × 13" × 3/4"), one flat thin granite sample (12" × 24" × 3/4"), one marble niche inscription sample (15-3/4" × 11-1/4" × 3/4"), and one marble memorial wall marker sample (7-3/4" × 11-1/4" × 3/4"), all manufactured to Government specifications with prescribed inscriptions and lithochrome application. Samples must be received by the National Memorial Cemetery at Quantico prior to the submission deadline and become Government property. Quoters must provide a written statement acknowledging receipt of all amendments; failure to do so may result in the quote being deemed non-responsive. Technical capability and past performance are weighted more heavily than price. Award will be made without discussions to the responsible quoter whose quotation represents best value to the Government.
