J045--Grease Traps Pump and Cleaning

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, through their Network Contracting Office in Kettering, Ohio, has issued a Special Notice regarding the cancellation of Request for Quotes (RFQ) 36C25026Q0021 for Grease Traps Pump and Cleaning services. The notice was posted on October 9, 2025, with an original response deadline of October 10, 2025 at 4 PM Eastern Time. The contracting officer Mary Jane Crim issued this cancellation notice to address critical deficiencies in the original solicitation. The procurement falls under NAICS code 238220 for Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors and PSC code J045 for maintenance and repair of plumbing, heating, and waste disposal equipment. This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations, making it available to all eligible contractors.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to formally cancel the original RFQ due to an identified oversight in the Statement of Work that resulted in missing critical information essential for accurate and fair quote solicitation. The agency has determined that the original solicitation lacked necessary details that would enable contractors to provide competitive and comprehensive responses. The Department of Veterans Affairs plans to issue a revised solicitation that will include all necessary corrections and missing information to ensure a proper competitive process. Contractors who may have been preparing responses to the original RFQ should halt their efforts and await the forthcoming revised solicitation. The agency has not specified a timeline for when the corrected solicitation will be released, but interested contractors should monitor federal contracting platforms for updates. All communications regarding this cancellation should be directed to Contracting Officer Mary Jane Crim at maryjane.crim@va.gov.
