The Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 (VISN6), intends to procure snow and ice removal services for the Richmond VA Medical Center through a competitive small business solicitation. The procurement will be conducted under FAR Part 13 Procedures, resulting in a single fixed-price contract with Request for Quotations number 36C24625Q0268. All prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database with NAICS code 561730 prior to quotation submission, and telephone requests for the solicitation will not be honored. The tentative solicitation release date is January 8, 2025, with quotations due by January 15, 2025, and interested parties are advised to consult the actual solicitation for final dates and precise requirements. While specific evaluation criteria were not explicitly detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, contractors will be assessed on their ability to meet the statement of work and demonstrate responsibility as a small business.

The solicitation is designated as a total small business set-aside, with a small business size standard of $9.0 million for the relevant NAICS code. The contract will cover snow and ice removal services at the Richmond VAMC located at 1201 Broad Rock Blvd, Richmond, VA, though specific service quantities, frequency, or contract duration were not specified in the pre-solicitation notice. Potential contractors must ensure their SAM.gov registration includes the applicable NAICS code 561730, and failure to do so will result in ineligibility for contract award. The solicitation will be made available on https://sam.gov when formally issued, and interested small businesses capable of providing the required services are encouraged to prepare their quotations.
