Baryan Sierra Contacting Officer Page 18 of 18 Amendment No. 1 to Combined Synopsis/Solicitation RFP 36C24826R0068 This amendment is hereby issued to respond to questions and requests for information submitted by potential vendors, and to provide additional information on offer submittal. All offers submitted in response to this RFP and any associated communications/documentation shall be submitted in the English language, which is the official business language of the Federal Government and its agencies. Offer Submittal due date has been changed to: August 13, 2026 at 10:00 AM AST via email to Aurea.Gonzalez@va.gov No further extensions to the due date will be granted. Offerors are required to acknowledge this amendment and submit the signed acknowledgement with their offer. All other areas of solicitation remain unchanged. RESPONSES TO VENDORS' QUESTIONS AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION Q1. While my business qualifies as a small business by SBA, I am still under review by SBA. Am I eligible to apply and be awarded the solicitation? This acquisition is being procured as a small business set-aside; SBA reviews are an independent procedure not managed by VA. Eligibility for set-aside is dependent on government verification of the offeror's business size status on SAM.gov at the time of offer submittal. Q2. We would like to know if this is a brand new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services. If not brand new, could you please provide the current/previous contract number? Yes, there is an existing contract in place, as this is a follow-on contract being procured as a competitive set-aside for Small Business concerns. The current contract number is 36C24826P0808. This information is publicly available on Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) at www.fpds.gov and/or US Spending at www.USASpending.gov Current contractor information may be requested and disclosed under Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in accordance with 38 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1.553(b). The VA accepts FOIA requests submitted by email. Email must be sent to SAJFOIA@va.gov . For additional information about FOIA regulations and procedures, please visit www.foia.va.gov Q3. Would you please provide the applicable Wage Determination, or advise where it can be obtained? Department of Labor Wage Determinations applicable to this solicitation are listed in Section D of the solicitation; see page 84 of the RFP. Q4. Is there any incumbent/recompete or this is a brand-new project? If yes, could you please provide us with their award number or even if the customer bought similar services in the past. See Q2 response. Q5. Are uniforms to be priced under a separate CLIN, or should all uniform costs be included in the contractor's overall operating costs and proposed labor rates? The price/cost schedule is built for an all-inclusive monthly price per post. The uniform cost is to be treated as an operating cost. Q6. Will the portable sanitary facilities be covered under a separate CLIN, or should the associated costs be included in the contractor's hourly rates or overall operating costs? The price/cost schedule is built for an all-inclusive monthly price per post. The costs associated with the sanitary facilities are to be treated as an overall operating cost. Q7. If a patrol vehicle is required under the contract, are there specific requirements regarding vehicle markings or identification, required equipment, vehicle age or mileage limitations, vehicle condition, or any other minimum vehicle specifications? A patrol vehicle is not required to perform under the contract. Therefore, the solicitation does not contain any vehicle specifications. Q8. Is the contractor required to utilize an electronic guard tour or GPS checkpoint system to document patrols, or are manual patrol logs acceptable? Manual patrol logs are acceptable. Q9. For personnel performing traffic control duties, are handheld STOP/SLOW (or STOP/GO) paddles and whistles required? In addition to reflective safety vests, are there any other traffic control equipment or safety device requirements that the contractor should include in its proposal? Handheld paddles and whistles are not required. Reflective safety vests are required. Q10. Considering the size of the contract and the staffing, onboarding, licensing, training, and transition activities required, would the Government consider providing a minimum of 15 calendar days between contract award and the commencement of performance? This transition period would facilitate an orderly transition, including employee processing, training, coordination with the incumbent contractor, and the hiring and onboarding of new personnel, thereby helping ensure uninterrupted security services. Although, existing companies in this industry typically possess all resources to begin provision of services immediately upon request. The government will consider providing a period between contract award and commencement of performance not to exceed 15 calendar days for transition.
