S208--36C25526Q0167 | grounds maintenance | STL | JB | me

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive grounds maintenance services at the VA Medical Center Jefferson Barracks in Saint Louis, Missouri under solicitation number 36C25526Q0167. The scope of work includes lawn cutting and edging on a weekly basis, weed removal, lawn seeding, grass blowing from sidewalks and roads, twice-yearly fertilization, removal of fallen leaves, and removal of dead trees, shrubs, limbs, and debris. The contractor must provide all necessary labor and supervision, with lawn cutting and edging performed on a mutually agreed schedule and hedge and tree trimming performed based on natural growth patterns. While the government file does not explicitly detail formal evaluation criteria, the requirements emphasize scheduling coordination with the facility and flexibility to redirect compensation for skipped services due to weather or slow growth toward other ground projects as the facility determines. Responses to this pre-solicitation notice are due by March 20, 2026, at 3:00 PM Central Time, with the contracting office located in Leavenworth, Kansas and Lisa Fischer serving as the contract specialist point of contact.

This opportunity is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBC), which restricts competition to businesses meeting this designation. The pre-solicitation notice does not identify any incumbent contractor or current service provider. No award value or budget range is specified in the available documentation, limiting visibility into the potential contract size. The contract is classified under Product Service Code S208 (Housekeeping-Landscaping/Groundskeeping) and NAICS Code 561730 (Landscaping Services). Suspense work is anticipated during December, January, and February when grass cutting is not required, and the contractor should anticipate that emergency requirements such as unscheduled tree removal may generate additional task orders beyond the base contract scope.
