The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration is requesting quotes for stormwater maintenance services at Culpeper National Cemetery in Culpeper, Virginia under RFQ 36C78626Q0088, with quotes due August 20, 2026 at 12:00 PM Eastern and a mandatory site visit on August 6, 2026. This solicitation is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 562998 (All Other Miscellaneous Waste Management Services) with a $16.5 million business size standard.

The scope covers routine stormwater care and management services.

The contract will be awarded on a firm fixed-price basis for a base year plus four option years, not to exceed five years and six months total.
