R428--industrial hygiene services cancellation of RFQ

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 (VA VHA VISN 6) issued a Special Notice canceling Request for Quote (RFQ) 36C24625Q0157 for Industrial Hygiene Services at the Richmond VA Medical Center (VAMC). The cancellation was prompted by significant inconsistencies discovered during the quote review process, specifically involving errors in equipment documentation. These errors included inaccuracies in equipment model and serial numbers and incomplete equipment location inventories. The primary issue was the omission of Community-Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) from the original equipment inventory. The contracting officer from Network Contracting Office 6 (NCO6) communicated this cancellation to all mission partners who had responded to the original solicitation.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to formally communicate the cancellation of the current solicitation and inform potential contractors that a new solicitation for industrial hygiene services will be issued at a future date. The notice falls under the Environmental Consulting Services NAICS category (541620) and the Professional Support: Industrial Hygienics Product Service Code (R428). While no specific eligibility criteria were outlined in this notice, contractors interested in future opportunities should be prepared to provide accurate and comprehensive documentation of equipment and service locations. The VA VHA VISN 6 is signaling its commitment to maintaining high standards of precision in contract documentation by canceling the current RFQ. Contractors who previously submitted quotes are encouraged to be ready for the upcoming solicitation, which will likely require more detailed and accurate information. The contracting officer, Warren A Pennil, can be contacted at warren.pennil@va.gov or 757-722-9961 ext. 18635 for any additional information.
