RFQ Gas Monitoring Project

The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6 is requesting quotations for onsite environmental services to conduct landfill gas monitoring at the Salem VA Medical Center in Salem, Virginia, under a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside, with quotations due June 5, 2026 and a performance period of June 15, 2026 through June 14, 2027. Only certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database are eligible to submit offers and receive award.

The scope encompasses quarterly testing of seven gas monitoring wells and one manhole, with weekly sampling visits when gas well levels exceed allowable limits. Services must comply with Virginia Solid Waste Management Regulations and permit SWP 362. The contractor will measure methane and lower explosive limit readings using portable gas monitors, submit quarterly reports to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, and provide unit pricing for weekly and monthly compliance visits. Contractor employees must obtain VA badges and pass a Special Agency Check background investigation.

The estimated contract value is $25.5 million across the base term and four one-year renewal options, potentially extending through June 14, 2031. The contract will be awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror. Evaluation criteria prioritize technical capability and approach, and past performance within the previous three years, with both factors weighted more heavily than price. Monthly invoicing in arrears is required, submitted electronically through the VA's Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment System. A site inspection is available at the contractor's discretion; no formal site visit or bidders conference is scheduled.
