L099--on-site inscription services for FT. Snelling national cemetery

SOLICITATION CANCELLATION

The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration cancels solicitation 36C78626Q0064 for on-site inscription services at Fort Snelling National Cemetery, effective July 31, 2026. No award will be made, and no response is required.

The Government determined after further review that cancellation is in its best interest. The original solicitation, posted June 24, 2026, with a response deadline of July 24, 2026, sought a firm-fixed-price contract with economic price adjustment for a one-year base period (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) plus four one-year options, structured as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS 561990.

The work involved on-site inscription services—air blast abrasion of government-furnished granite thin flat markers, marble niche covers, and marble upright headstones at the cemetery located at 7601 34th Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The contract included minimum order thresholds of $2,500 and maximum order limitations of $300,000 per single item or $500,000 for item combinations across the contract period. Estimated annual volume was 5,900 units. The Government intended to award without discussions and reserved the right to select a higher-priced quotation if benefits justified the additional cost. Technical and past performance factors were weighted more heavily than price in evaluation. Prospective quoters were required to register in SAM, complete ORCA certifications, and submit samples of three specific monument types with precise inscriptions and dimensions, along with Adobe PDF volumes on company information, technical approach, and past performance, plus a pricing spreadsheet using the Government's Price/Cost Schedule.
