Sod Delivery and Installation -- S208

The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration intends to procure sod delivery and installation services for Fort Logan National Cemetery through an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The solicitation will require a specialized Kentucky Bluegrass Blend sod with specific cultivation requirements, including at least three regionally-adapted cultivars and one drought-tolerant variety. Contractors will be responsible for delivering and installing sod for grave sites, with work performed during normal business hours (8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Monday-Friday). The procurement will involve three Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs), with monthly orders expected during the growing season of April through October. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, interested parties will need to carefully review the forthcoming full solicitation to understand complete requirements.

The contract is exclusively set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), providing targeted opportunities for veteran entrepreneurs. Monthly order quantities will range from approximately 1,350 to 12,150 square feet, with typical orders around 6,750 square feet (15 pallets). Installation requirements include a strict 24-hour harvest-to-install timeline, with contractors responsible for proper grading, rolling, and any potential damages during the process. The cemetery will handle maintenance after sod installation is complete. Though specific contract value is not disclosed, the detailed requirements and monthly ordering structure suggest a potentially significant annual commitment. Interested SDVOSB firms should closely monitor the forthcoming solicitation, which is anticipated to provide comprehensive details about the procurement opportunity at Fort Logan National Cemetery.
