The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (VA VHA VISN 8) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract for canteen cleaning services. The contract will be awarded to a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) under the authority of 41 USC A3304(a)(5) and 38 U.S. Code A 8127(b), as implemented by FAR 6.302-5. The procurement is specifically for cleaning and sanitizing the Canteen located in Building #1, which includes removing construction debris, cleaning the kitchen, walk-in refrigerator/freezer, and all kitchen equipment. The contract will be classified under NAICS code 562910 for Remediation Services, with a performance period of 38 days from January 24, 2024, to January 31, 2025. This notice serves to publicize the proposed contract action as required by FAR 5.201(b)(1).

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to provide an opportunity for interested SDVOSB contractors to submit capability statements for the canteen cleaning services contract. Contractors wishing to respond must submit their capability statements via email to Lakiesha.anderson@va.gov by December 24, 2024, at 12:00 PM EST, using the specific email subject line "36C24825P0450 Canteen Cleaning Services". While this is not a competitive solicitation, the VA will consider submitted responses. The contract is specifically targeted at Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, providing an opportunity for such businesses to secure government contracts. Importantly, the government will not reimburse respondents for any costs incurred in preparing their responses. This notice represents the only communication from the government regarding its intent to solicit and award the contract to a single source, emphasizing the sole-source nature of the procurement.
