The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the Network Contracting Office 6 in Hampton, Virginia, is awarding a firm-fixed-price contract under a total small business set-aside for the procurement and installation of two custom audiometric sound rooms at the Greenville VA Medical Clinic in Greenville, North Carolina. The solicitation, numbered 36C24626Q0261 and posted on February 25, 2026, is governed under NAICS code 334510, with the size standard set at 1,250 employees, and requires offerors to be certified as small businesses in SAM.gov with an active Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE Code. The contract is evaluated under a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) framework, where price is the sole evaluation factor, and technical acceptability is determined solely by conformance to specifications without additional scoring or risk ratings. Offerors must submit proposals organized into three sections: the signed Standard Form 1449, a completed Excel pricing schedule (unaltered from the provided template), and representations and certifications, all submitted electronically by 8:00 AM EST on August 24, 2023, to kenya.robinson@va.gov. The contract incorporates a comprehensive set of federal and VA-specific regulatory clauses, including requirements for small business utilization, equal opportunity for veterans and workers with disabilities, employment eligibility verification, combating trafficking in persons, service contract labor standards, paid sick leave under Executive Order 13706, and payment by electronic funds transfer via SAM.gov. Special provisions prohibit the use of ByteDance-covered applications, mandate supply chain security compliance under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act, require whistleblower protections, and enforce restrictions on subcontracting with excluded parties. Delivery is FOB destination to the Greenville VA Medical Clinic, and acceptance will occur at that location. The government retains final authority for inspection and acceptance, guided by Buy American requirements and VAAR provisions, though no specific technical inspection criteria or military standards are detailed. Invoices must be submitted electronically through the VA Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment system, with payments processed by the VA Financial Services Center in Austin, Texas. The contract administration is managed directly by the Contracting Officer, Monique Cordero, with no designated Administrative Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer’s Representative identified at this time.
