The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 is seeking contractors to provide kitchen and canteen exhaust duct cleaning services. This pre-solicitation notice falls under NAICS code 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings) and PSC code S299 (Housekeeping- Other), indicating the procurement involves specialized building maintenance services. The opportunity was posted on July 28, 2025, with responses due by August 1, 2025, providing interested contractors with a narrow four-day window to submit their proposals. Additional contract requirements, qualifications, and evaluation criteria are detailed in the attached government document 36C24225Q0896.docx, which contractors must review to understand the full scope of work and submission requirements. The tight timeline suggests this may be an urgent operational need for the VA healthcare facilities within the network.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations, meaning it is open to competition among all qualified contractors regardless of small business status or socioeconomic categories. The pre-solicitation notice does not identify any incumbent contractors currently providing these services or specify potential contract values or budget ranges for the work. No details regarding the quantity of facilities requiring duct cleaning services, frequency of cleaning cycles, or contract performance timeline are provided in the basic notice description. The absence of these specifics indicates that comprehensive information about scope, scale, and contract terms is likely contained within the referenced attachment that interested parties must obtain and review. Given the specialized nature of exhaust duct cleaning in healthcare food service environments, contractors will need to demonstrate relevant experience and compliance with applicable health and safety standards.
