Amendment 0002 - Z2AA--Headstone Maintenance IDIQ Ohio Western National Cemetery

The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration is seeking a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business to perform headstone maintenance services for the Ohio Western National Cemetery through an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The solicitation focuses on specialized maintenance tasks including cleaning, fine-tuning, and realigning headstones within the cemetery. Contractors will be required to mobilize within 10 calendar days of receiving a Marker or Alignment Report (MOAR) and perform work primarily Monday through Friday, with maintenance activities being weather-dependent. In the previous fiscal year, the cemetery recorded 2,883 total internments, which provides context for the expected workload. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the amendment, contractors must demonstrate capabilities in precision cemetery maintenance and adherence to strict operational guidelines.

The contract is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses as a sole source opportunity, with performance located in Seville, Ohio. Contractors will be expected to handle multiple headstone maintenance tasks simultaneously, though each headstone must remain on its designated grave and district approval is required for raising and realigning multiple sections concurrently. The solicitation falls under NAICS category 238990 for All Other Specialty Trade Contractors and PSC category Z2AA for Repair or Alteration of Office Buildings. The solicitation was posted on May 31, 2025, with responses due by June 23, 2025, providing potential contractors approximately three weeks to prepare and submit their proposals. While specific contract value is not disclosed, the IDIQ structure suggests flexibility in service delivery and potential volume-based compensation.
