The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration is seeking a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) to repair approximately twenty pole barn trusses at Camp Butler National Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois. The solicitation (36C78625B0014) requires the contractor to convert a fan truss ceiling to a cathedral ceiling, construct a load-bearing wall, and replace support columns. Bidders must be SBA VetCert verified, registered in SAM, and submit a bid bond, with compliance required for Davis-Bacon wage rates for Sangamon County. The bid submission deadline is April 30, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with a mandatory pre-bid site visit having occurred on April 7, 2025. Evaluation criteria include technical capability, adherence to structural design specifications, and compliance with National Cemetery Administration dignity standards and employee conduct requirements.

The contract is not set aside for a specific small business designation, though SDVOSB firms are preferred. The project is valued between $100,000 and $250,000 under NAICS code 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. The place of performance is Camp Butler National Cemetery at 5063 Camp Butler Road, Springfield, IL 62707. Contractors must design and construct a cathedral ceiling with over 14 feet of clearance across approximately 75% of a 30-foot truss span, with potential for value-engineered solutions like a vaulted parallel truss design.
