Description: THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE FOR A REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ).



The Department of Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System has a requirement for contractor to play the piano/keyboard for worship services and other special religious activities. Music is recognized as an essential element in most worship services. VAPAHCS Veterans benefit greatly from this service. The Veterans are primarily residential patients and are unable to leave the grounds to attend worship services in the community. The Veteran population is older and prefers traditional hymns in their worship services. VAPAHCS requires a person to play the piano/keyboard for one Protestant and one Catholic Worship Service at the Palo Alto Division (PAD), one Protestant and one Catholic Worship Service at the Menlo Park Division (MPD), and one Protestant and one Catholic Worship Service at the Livermore Division (LVD). VAPAHCS requires a person to play the piano/keyboard at Memorial Services and other special events as requested at all three locations named above. There is no requirement that the same individual play for every service.
