About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 8 is conducting market research to identify potential contractors for comprehensive grounds maintenance services at the Lee County Health Care Clinic located in Cape Coral, Florida. The scope includes landscape maintenance activities such as mowing, fertilization, weed control, irrigation system management, pest control, pruning, mulching, and retention pond maintenance for the healthcare facility's exterior grounds. This sources sought notice aims to determine the availability of qualified small business firms capable of providing these services under NAICS code 561730 (Landscaping Services). Interested organizations must submit their capabilities statements and detailed company information including business size, SAM status, UEI number, and contact details by September 12, 2025, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time. All responses must be submitted electronically to william.penhallegon@va.gov, and the VA emphasizes that this market research will determine whether to proceed with a competitive procurement process.
This opportunity is designated as a set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), with consideration also given to Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), and other small business firms. While the sources sought notice indicates a firm-fixed price contract structure with a 60-day performance period, the attached draft statement of work reveals the actual contract scope is significantly larger, spanning one year from November 6, 2025, through November 5, 2026, with four additional 12-month option years available. The contract requires maintaining strict performance standards including keeping grass at appropriate heights, managing plant health, ensuring debris-free grounds, and limiting customer complaints to no more than two per month. No incumbent contractor information or specific budget ranges are disclosed in the documentation, and the VA reserves discretionary authority to determine the final acquisition approach based on the market research responses received.
