PVC and Irrigation Supplies for Dallas Fort Worth National Cemetery

The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration is seeking to procure PVC and irrigation supplies for the Dallas Fort Worth National Cemetery through Request for Quotation 36C78625Q50236. The procurement encompasses 49 specific irrigation components including pressure regulator valves, rotor heads, PVC swing joints, PVC couplings, PVC fittings, and brass ball valves, with four critical items requiring specific brand name components (either Toro or Rain Bird brand, depending on the amendment) to maintain compatibility with the existing irrigation system. All items must be new, unused, and delivered in a single shipment within 60 calendar days from contract award. The government will evaluate offers using FAR Part 13 simplified acquisition procedures and award to the responsible offeror with the lowest price. Vendors must submit questions by August 19, 2025 at 11:00 AM EST and quotations are due by August 29, 2025 at 3:00 PM EST.

This procurement is designated as a 100% Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 326122 (Plastics Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing) with a size standard of 750 employees, though one document references it as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside. The contract will be structured as a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order with delivery required to the Dallas Fort Worth National Cemetery located at 2000 Mountain Creek Parkway in Dallas, Texas. Market research conducted through a Sources Sought notice received responses from four small businesses, confirming viable small business participation in the irrigation supply market. Vendors must be registered in both the System for Award Management (SAM) and VetCert to be eligible for award consideration. The procurement represents a direct replacement effort for existing irrigation system components, with brand name requirements justified to prevent service interruptions and avoid additional maintenance and utility costs.
