About this opportunity
This Special Notice, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration on January 13, 2026, pertains to contract 36C78625D50523 for Grounds Maintenance Services at the Annapolis and Loudon Park National Cemeteries. The notice announces the cancellation of a current contract award under the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside program. The cancellation follows a protest submitted by Hanger 4 Services on September 2, 2025, which the Government Accountability Office (GAO) dismissed on September 30, 2025. The groundskeeping and landscaping services work falls under NAICS code 561730 and PSC code S208.
The primary purpose of this modification is to terminate the existing contract award for convenience of the Government under FAR 52.249-4, based on the Agency's reassessment of the requirements. Because no services or mobilization efforts were performed by the awardee prior to termination, the Government does not anticipate liability for costs incurred by the contractor. Contractors interested in this opportunity must be Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses to be eligible for consideration under the set-aside designation. The Agency will accept and review any Request for Equitable Adjustment (REA) submitted by the incumbent awardee in accordance with applicable regulations. This notice effectively reopens the opportunity for qualified contractors to submit proposals for the grounds maintenance services at the two national cemetery locations.
