Award Announcement: FY24 Ft Sam Houston Shrine -- Y1PZ

The National Cemetery Administration of the Department of Veterans Affairs has issued a sole source award to Double Bronze Star (DBS) Marketing and Consulting, Inc. for the FY24 National Shrine project at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio, Texas. This award, categorized under NAICS code 237990 and set aside for a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, focuses on critical maintenance including raise and realignments, turf renovation, and irrigation renovation. The solicitation, numbered QSE-36C78624R0104, leverages the contractor's status as the incumbent from the FY23 project to ensure continuity of operations. The decision to utilize a sole source procurement was driven by significant logistical constraints, specifically the very limited staging space available at the cemetery. By retaining DBS, the government avoids the complications of managing multiple contractors onsite, which would hinder progress and complicate facility communication. DBS was selected based on its proven expertise in similar National Cemetery Administration scopes of work and the fact that they are already mobilized with the necessary equipment and manpower. This approach prevents the simultaneous renovation of limited sections and ensures the most efficient coordination of overlapping project requirements.
