The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice to identify potential vendors capable of providing janitorial services for the Burlington Lakeside Community-Based Outpatient Clinic located at 128 Lakeside Ave, Burlington, VT 05401-5911. The comprehensive janitorial contract covers approximately 17,608 square feet of medical facility space, requiring daily, weekly, and quarterly cleaning services using EPA-registered germicides and maintaining strict sanitation standards for various clinic areas including primary care, specialty care, restrooms, waiting areas, and medical spaces. Contractors must provide all cleaning supplies, equipment, and materials while adhering to rigorous staff requirements including background checks, photo identification, uniforms, and compliance with VA security and confidentiality standards. The procurement falls under NAICS code 561720 (Janitorial Services) with a small business size standard of $22 million. Interested vendors must submit their capability statements, company information, Unique Entity Identifier, socio-economic status, and estimated pricing to contract specialist Syreeta Shaw at Syreeta.shaw@va.gov by 10:00 AM on August 19, 2025.

This opportunity has no set-aside designation and is open to businesses of all sizes, though the VA specifically requests information about socio-economic status including Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB), and Women-Owned Small Business designations, with SDVOSB/VOSB status verified through SBA VetCert. No incumbent contractor or current service provider is identified in the documentation, suggesting this may be a new requirement or existing contract approaching expiration. The facility encompasses 17,608 square feet requiring comprehensive janitorial services with cleaning staff operating between 6:30 AM and 11:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The contract includes specialized requirements for medical environments such as terminal cleaning of isolation rooms, proper disposal of sharps containers and biohazardous materials, and handling of hazardous waste. While no specific budget range is provided, vendors are required to submit estimated pricing as part of their capability statements. The VA emphasizes this is purely market research and reserves the right to cancel the requirement at its discretion without compensation to responding vendors.
