This Special Notice is Amendment 0002 to Request for Quote 36C25926Q0391 for Fire Alarm and Sprinkler Maintenance, Testing, and Inspections services at two Department of Veterans Affairs facilities in Oklahoma: the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center and the Lawton Outpatient Clinic. Published on April 30, 2026, by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 19, this amendment updates the original solicitation with revised performance work statements, updated line items, and vendor-supplied questions and answers. The opportunity is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), reflecting the contracting preference for businesses owned by service-disabled veterans.

Eligible contractors must obtain PIV badging ($75 cost), provide an on-site representative, and comply with Service Contract Labor Standards wage determinations and security requirements. The contract period runs five years (May 1, 2026 to April 30, 2031), consisting of one base year and four one-year option periods, with recurring service intervals including monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual inspections depending on system component type. Contractors must deliver comprehensive reports formatted for Joint Commission accreditation standards within 14 days of service completion and maintain digital inventory tracking with trouble codes and unique identifiers for all identified deficiencies.
