About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration is procuring construction services for the FY25 San Joaquin Valley National Cemetery Shrine Project, which involves raising and realigning flat headstone markers and comprehensive turf renovation at the San Joaquin Valley National Cemetery in Santa Nella, California. The work includes full section renovation of cemetery sections C11-C18, raise and realignment services for sections 1 and 9 under the base bid, with an optional bid covering additional sections 2, 3, 4, 10, and 12. Key requirements include headstone support system installation, marker identification and tagging, precise alignment within 1/8 inch tolerances, soil preparation, geogrid support system installation, marker cleaning, and sod installation across approximately 5,900 gravesites. This is a firm fixed-price contract awarded through sealed bidding under FAR Part 14, with bids due August 29, 2025 at 1:00 PM EST. A pre-bid site visit was conducted on July 30, 2025, and contractors must maintain strict operational protocols to preserve the cemetery's respectful environment while working during duty hours (0730-1530 Monday-Friday).

This procurement is 100% set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS code 237990 with a size standard of $45 million, and bidders must be CVE verified prior to bid submission and registered in multiple systems including SAM, SBA, and Vets 4212. The estimated contract value ranges between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000, with the base bid having a 365 calendar day performance period and the optional bid requiring 240 calendar days for completion. No incumbent contractors are specifically mentioned in the documentation, though the site visit sign-in sheet shows interest from multiple companies including G.L. Bruno, GEA, Dial Engineering, and others. The work will be performed at the San Joaquin Valley National Cemetery in Gustine, California, under prevailing wage requirements for Merced County. The project involves complex technical specifications including geogrid installation, precise grading and excavation work, and specialized cemetery maintenance protocols to ensure uniform headstone alignment and landscaping restoration.
