DVS Cemeteries - Honda Engine Bed Edgers

The Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Veterans Services issued a Quick Quote solicitation on April 30, 2026, with proposals due by May 5, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST, to procure three Honda engine bed edgers for delivery to three separate veterans cemetery locations across Virginia: Virginia Veterans Cemetery at Amelia, Southwest Virginia Veterans Cemetery in Dublin, and Albert G. Horton, Jr. Memorial Veterans Cemetery in Suffolk. The procurement seeks one B590H Bantam BedEdger (walk-behind model) equipped with a Honda GX270, 9 HP engine per location, with no substitutions permitted as the specified models align with existing training and maintenance parts inventory at the cemeteries. All bids must include shipping, unloading, and lift gate costs on an FOB destination basis, with delivery required within 30 days of contract award. Bidders must register in the eVA procurement system and submit bids either electronically through eVA or via email to the designated contracting officer, accompanied by complete product information and documentation demonstrating compliance with specifications. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting applicable criteria.

This procurement includes a small business set-aside with preference for DSBSD-certified micro businesses if bids remain at or below $10,000, and small businesses if bids do not exceed $100,000, provided all bids are determined fair and reasonable. Bidders are subject to applicable vendor transaction fees, capped at $500 for certified small businesses or $1,500 for non-certified businesses. The contract is subject to Virginia's Vendors Manual provisions, all applicable federal, state, and local laws, anti-discrimination requirements, and ethics in public contracting standards. No incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified in the solicitation materials. The estimated budget range for this procurement was not explicitly stated in the available documentation; however, the small business set-aside thresholds suggest the total contract value is expected to remain below $100,000 for all three units combined.
