About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs is procuring landscape and grounds maintenance services for the VA Central California Health Care Systems facility in Fresno, California, with quotes due August 24, 2026 at 8:00 AM EDT. This is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to verified SDVOSB firms.
Place of performance is the Fresno VA Medical Center, 2615 E Clinton Avenue, Fresno, CA 93703, covering approximately 20 acres of campus landscaping. The solicitation is issued as Request for Quote 36C26126Q0750 under FAR Part 12 commercial services procedures and NAICS code 561730, with a small business size standard of $9.5 million.
The contract structure includes five recurring line items: routine landscape and grounds maintenance (monthly invoicing); annual non-routine tree trimming and arborist services (job-based invoicing); mulching (monthly); landscaping of decorative areas with seasonal color programs (monthly); and fertilization and chemical applications (monthly). The base period runs September 25, 2026 through September 24, 2027, with four one-year option periods available.
Contractors must maintain turf between 2.5 and 4 inches, perform monthly weed removal, conduct monthly irrigation inspections, replace dead vegetation (excluding recently planted perimeter fence areas), and submit daily maintenance checklists and a tree management plan. Certified arborists may be subcontracted rather than directly employed. Wood mulch samples require post-award submission to the Contracting Officer's Representative, who will recommend colors and types with a maximum of four mulch variations across the entire site. Evaluation employs a comparative best-value tradeoff methodology weighing Technical Approach, Past Performance, and Price; the Government reserves the right to award without discussions.
Questions were due August 12 and should be directed to Contract Specialist Karen Cooper at karen.cooper332@va.gov. An optional but strongly encouraged site visit was scheduled for August 5, 2026, with an additional site visit held August 19, 2026. Amendment 0002, effective August 21, 2026, required offerors to provide the August 19 site walk sign-in sheet and related Q&A documentation. This is a new requirement with no incumbent contractor; a similar prior contract (36C26124C0012) expired in 2025.
