The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Construction and Facilities Management is procuring multiple-award task order IDIQ architect-engineer services for VA National Cemetery projects throughout the United States and its territories, with SF 330 submissions due July 8, 2026, at 10:00 AM EDT under a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside.

The VA anticipates awarding up to ten IDIQ A-E contracts, each with a ten-year ordering period consisting of a five-year base period and one optional five-year extension. Each contract carries a $100 million total ceiling with a $2,500 minimum guaranteed amount for the base period. Task orders will be issued as firm-fixed-price procurements with minimums of $2,500 and maximums of $15 million per order. Work is performed nationwide and in U.S. territories.

This is a two-phase qualification-based selection process. Phase 1 (current) evaluates only SF 330 submissions demonstrating professional qualifications, specialized experience, technical competence, past performance, quality control, capacity, and location. Only the most highly qualified Phase 1 firms will receive Phase 2 solicitation packages containing provisions, clauses, and labor rate information.

Primary services include Design-Bid-Build construction contract packages with plans and specifications, site surveys, cost estimating, and construction period services. Additional services span fifteen task categories: master planning, schematic design, special studies, peer reviews, cost estimating, Project Labor Agreement impact studies, Design-Build RFP preparation, commissioning, construction management, and inspection services. The scope encompasses construction, renovation, repairs, and commissioning of national cemeteries, buildings, roadways, and infrastructure.

Responses must include 5 to 10 relevant projects completed within the past five years with construction costs of $15 million or higher. Eligible projects include VA/NCA cemetery projects, state/local/private cemetery projects, golf courses, parks, and recreation-oriented developments incorporating cemetery-typical features such as memorials, irrigation systems, civil works, and environmental remediation. Submissions are limited to 120 single-sided pages (Part I only, excluding Part II, certificates, licenses, and dividers), 11-point minimum Calibri font, with a 40 MB per-email size limit.

Key personnel requirements include eighteen in-house disciplines: Senior Project Manager, Architect, Civil Site/Sanitary Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Structural Engineer, Geotechnical Engineer, Environmental Engineer, Fire Protection Engineer, Plumbing Engineer, Cost Estimator, Interior Designer, Construction Inspection/Specifications specialist, Land Surveyor, Historical Preservation specialist, Cemetery Planner, Landscape Architect, and Irrigation Engineer. Most positions require 10 years of experience with bachelor's degrees and professional licenses; Fire Protection Engineer and specialized roles require 5 years. All personnel must demonstrate expertise in national cemetery construction methodology and applicable federal codes and standards. LEED certification is no longer required.
