Houston National Cemetery Annual Generator Service Base +4, Amended 0001 with vendor Q an A

The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration seeks annual preventive maintenance services for two diesel-powered backup generators at Houston National Cemetery, with proposals due July 29, 2026 (amended from July 27). The procurement is a 100 percent set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses.

Place of performance is Houston, Texas 77038. The scope covers routine maintenance for one 250 KW Generac unit (Serial 3012108036) and one 200 KW Generac unit (Serial 3012108038) during a base period from August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027, with four one-year optional extensions through July 31, 2031. Maintenance includes inspections of battery, fuel tank, coolant, lubrication, air intake/exhaust systems and controls; servicing (oil changes, filter replacements, fuel analysis); load bank testing at 25%, 50%, and 75% capacity per NFPA 110 standards (minimum two-hour duration per OEM guidance); and annual exercise of transfer and distribution breakers. Contractors must submit annual reports within 14 days of completion documenting technician name, service date, serial number, condition findings, load bank results, and recommended repairs. Repairs beyond preventive maintenance scope are excluded and handled as separate negotiated modifications. No prior maintenance records or known deficiencies are available; current generator hour-meter readings are 163.6 and 180.3 hours respectively.

The NAICS code is 561210 (Facilities Support Services) with a $47 million size standard. Evaluation uses lowest-price-technically-acceptable methodology weighing technical approach and work understanding (minimum three years' experience required), past performance on comparable projects within the last five years, and price. Offerors must be actively registered in SAM.gov at submission and award and comply with Service Contract Labor Standards. Vendor questions were due July 17, 2026 at 9:00 AM; answers were provided via amendment by July 22.
