E1PC--Salisbury Land RFI request EXTENSION Modification Department of Veteran Affairs

The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Construction and Facilities Management is conducting a Sources Sought notice to acquire land for a new National Cemetery in Salisbury, North Carolina. The VA is seeking expressions of interest for either approximately 50 acres within 3 miles of the existing cemetery, or 125 acres within Rowan, Iredell, Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, and Stanly counties. Interested parties must submit comprehensive information including site location and zoning details, proof of ownership or control, legal descriptions with maps and surveys, utility availability, environmental and historic assessments, flood zone documentation, and information about any title issues or encumbrances. The VA will conduct site selection tours for qualifying properties and will only acquire sites at fair market value as determined by a qualified appraiser, with properties in 100-year flood plains excluded unless no practical alternative exists. The response deadline has been extended multiple times, with the current due date of August 31, 2025, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time, and interested parties should contact Realty Specialist Marianne Marinucci at marianne.marinucci@va.gov.

This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is classified under NAICS code 237210 (Land Subdivision) and Product Service Code E1PC (Purchase of Unimproved Real Property). No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation, as this appears to be a real estate acquisition rather than a service contract. The solicitation does not specify budget ranges or award values, as the VA has indicated they will pay fair market value as determined by qualified appraisers for selected properties. The project involves acquiring either 50 acres in close proximity to the existing cemetery or a larger 125-acre parcel within the specified five-county area in North Carolina. The timeline shows this is a multi-phase process that began in January 2025 and has been extended through August 2025, with RFI responses archived for 60 days following the submission deadline.
