About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs' Great Lakes Acquisition Center is seeking mortuary services for deceased unclaimed or indigent Veterans who were inpatients under VA or VA-authorized care at the William S. Middleton Memorial VA Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin. The procurement requires comprehensive mortuary services including body preparation, embalming, dressing, casketing, transportation, and storage of remains, with contractors expected to coordinate directly with cemetery staff for scheduling services. Prospective contractors must be located within 60 miles of the VA Medical Center and comply with VA specifications, federal and state health regulations, and provide services with respect and dignity according to VA protocols. The evaluation will be based on four factors: Technical and Management Approach, Veterans Involvement, Past Performance, and Price, with award going to the lowest-priced offeror deemed technically acceptable with successful past performance. The solicitation deadline is August 26, 2025, at 10:00 Central Time, and this is classified as an unrestricted procurement under NAICS code 812210 for Funeral Homes and Funeral Services.
This solicitation has no set-aside designation and represents a brand-new contract with no incumbent contractor currently performing these services. The contract structure includes a base period from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, with four additional one-year option periods available. The government estimates approximately 5 units per year for each of the two primary service lines: body preparation services and transportation/storage services, though specific contract values are not disclosed in the available documentation. Performance will take place at the contractor's funeral home facility, which must be within the 60-mile radius of the Madison VA Medical Center, with services extending to national or state veterans cemeteries as needed. The contractor will be required to maintain professional facilities meeting VA inspection standards and must have capabilities for refrigeration, transportation, and full mortuary services including embalming and cremation when required.
