36C78626Q50131 -- S206

The contract solicitation 36C78626Q50131 is for Unarmed Security Guard services with patrol vehicle support at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona in Phoenix, Arizona, under a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set Aside. The solicitation, issued by the National Cemetery Administration of the Department of Veterans Affairs, is governed by FAR Part 12 as a commercial item acquisition and employs a best value trade-off methodology for award, not a lowest price technically acceptable approach. Evaluation is based on three factors in descending order of importance: Past Performance, Technical Capability, and Price. Past Performance will be assessed via the Past Performance Questionnaire using adjectival ratings for quality, timeliness, customer satisfaction, management, cost control, safety, and security. Technical Capability requires detailed documentation including a performance work schedule, photographs of uniforms and equipment—particularly patrol vehicles—a quality control plan, and verified qualifications of personnel such as training, certifications, licenses, and insurance. Price will be analyzed for fairness and reasonableness across the base period and all optional periods. The contract requires strict compliance with VAAR 852.219-75 concerning subcontracting limitations and mandates submission of completed representations including UEI and CAGE codes, as well as size and socioeconomic certifications. Proposals must be submitted via email to ralph.crum@va.gov no later than 3:00 PM CST on May 29, 2026, using the specified subject line format and in .docx format only, matching the original solicitation file structure. The Contracting Officer is Ralph Crum, with Lee Castaneda serving as the Contracting Officer’s Representative, and the place of performance is clearly defined as the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona, ZIP 85024. The amendment corrects the submission deadline previously misstated and confirms the evaluation timeline for award based on comprehensive vendor response. No formal packaging, marking, or preservation requirements are specified, and no contract value or line-item pricing details are provided in the solicitation.
