Charleston VAMC - Food Service Serving Line Worktables (Including Installation)

The Veterans Health Administration is soliciting bids for the procurement, delivery, and installation of custom commercial-grade stainless steel food service serving line worktables at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston, South Carolina, under Solicitation Number 36C24726Q0633. The contract is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set Aside with a NAICS code of 332215, requiring the contractor to supply Advance Tabco EK-SS-368 or equal units—96-inch long by 36-inch deep with a 14-gauge stainless steel countertop, 5-inch backsplash, and 300-pound capacity locking casters—while removing and disposing of existing casework on a one-for-one basis. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, tools, transportation, and supervision necessary to complete the installation within ten business days of the project commencement, which is scheduled to begin ten business days after award. Daily cleanup of debris and dust is mandatory, with all waste removed off-site, and the contractor must be available for an in-person site meeting within ten days of contract award as coordinated by the Contracting Officer’s Representative. The work must comply with strict technical specifications and quality standards, with final inspection and acceptance occurring on-site at the Charleston VA facility. Proposals must be submitted in two volumes: a technical submission including 2D/3D layouts, a detailed bill of materials tied to the floorplan, product literature, warranty documentation, and a self-certification of timely completion capability; and a separate price submission listing labor and installation costs individually. Physical finish samples are required only after award. The evaluation is based on a trade-off approach weighing technical compliance, past performance, and price equally, with the award going to the most advantageous offeror. Payment will be processed electronically via System for Award Management in accordance with VA-specific electronic invoicing requirements, and the Government retains unlimited rights to all data and deliverables produced under the contract. Subcontracting is restricted under SDVOSB rules—no more than 50% of the total work value can go to non-SDVOSBs, excluding materials—and all subcontractors must adhere to identical contract terms. The contractor is also bound by data handling restrictions under the Privacy Act and Federal Records Act, must avoid prohibited products under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act, and must affirm compliance with labor standards, whistleblower protections, and DEI non-discrimination requirements. All proposals must be received
