AI Contract Overview
This solicitation, identified as Amendment 0003 to RFQ 36C24126Q0324, was originally issued on April 27, 2026, as a combined synopsis and solicitation under FAR Subpart 12.6 for commercial items, with a full set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB). The procurement, assigned NAICS code 562910 with a $25 million small business size standard, intended to secure radiological decommissioning services at the VA Bedford Health Care System in Bedford, Massachusetts, covering approximately 20 rooms across four buildings previously used for research involving radioactive isotopes such as P-32, S-35, I-125, H-3, and C-14. All offerors were required to be registered in SAM.gov and verified in the SBA’s Dynamic Small Business Search database to qualify for the set-aside, and compliance with VAAR and FAR clauses—including those on whistleblower rights, labor standards, trafficking in persons, and cybersecurity—was mandatory. Proposals were to be evaluated using a trade-off approach based on technical or quality approach, past performance, veterans involvement, and price, with no numerical weightings assigned, and the government reserved the right to select a non-lowest-priced offer that provided superior overall value. Evaluation criteria emphasized a detailed decommissioning plan, historical site assessment, final status survey aligned with MARSSIM, quality control methodologies, and verifiable experience in similar hospital or academic radioactive decommissioning projects. Performance was to occur on-site under strict infection control protocols (ICRA Class IV), with adherence to VA safety policies, coordinated utility shutdowns, and requirements for as-built drawings and secure handling of radioactive materials using lockable containers and proper labeling. However, prior to award and with no selections made, the solicitation was officially canceled via Amendment 0003 due to inadequate and ambiguous specifications, rendering all prior submissions void. The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 01 notified potential respondents that no further action would be taken under this solicitation and that future opportunities would be issued anew should the requirement become viable again, emphasizing that all future submissions must be tracked through SAM.gov Federal Business Opportunities. All administrative inquiries were to be directed to Contract Specialist Pamela L. Parham via email.
