The contract is firm-fixed price and mandates the removal and disposal of an existing counter, followed by the delivery, installation, and integration of a new custom unit constructed with 18-gauge stainless steel and 3cm Caesarstone quartz, featuring integrated cold and hot food wells, a tray slide, LED-lit sneezeguard, and all components must be NSF-certified and UL-listed. Offerors must submit proposals in three volumes—price, technical capability with brand and model specifications, and a completed Buy American Certificate (FAR 52.225-2)—via email to barron.long@va.gov no later than 12:00 p.m. Mountain Time on Friday, August 7th, 2026, with submissions limited to 4MB in size and no hard copies, faxes, or hand-delivered proposals accepted. No site visits will be conducted, and failure to acknowledge receipt of this amendment on each offer will result in rejection. All deliverables are subject to inspection and formal acceptance at the Sheridan VA Medical Center under F.O.B. Destination terms, requiring compliance with Buy American provisions, prohibition of gray market goods, and adherence to VA design and safety standards. Evaluation for award will be based on price, technical capability, and completion of the Buy American Certificate, using a trade-off approach rather than lowest price technically acceptable. Contractors must be current in SAM.gov registration, comply with subcontracting and labor standards including anti-trafficking and equal opportunity requirements, and ensure all equipment is new, OEM, and accompanied by CAD drawings, operation manuals, and certifications. Invoicing must be submitted electronically per VAAR requirements, and payment will be processed through the Department of Veterans Affairs at the Network Contracting Office 19 in Greenwood Village, Colorado.
