The Department of Veterans Affairs is soliciting bids for a Firm-Fixed-Price contract to provide onsite environmental services for landfill gas monitoring at the Salem VA Medical Center in Virginia, under solicitation number 36C24626Q0569, posted on May 29, 2026, with responses due by June 5, 2026. This is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under NAICS code 541330, with a size standard of $25.5 million, requiring all offerors to be currently registered and certified in SAM and listed in the SBA’s veteran certification database at veterans.certify.sba.gov. The contract period is from June 15, 2026, to June 14, 2027, with an option to extend services for up to six additional months. The scope includes quarterly monitoring of seven wells and one manhole, monthly testing of well LGW-5s, and weekly sampling for 48 weeks to comply with Virginia DEQ requirements, measuring methane and lower explosive limit concentrations at eight monitoring wells and seven nearby structures, including buildings and a storm drain manhole. All testing must be performed during normal business hours, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays, using field-calibrated portable gas monitors per manufacturer guidance. Contractors must adhere to 9VAC 20-81-200, permit SWP 362, and applicable EPA, OSHA, and state/local regulations, and submit quarterly reports to both the DEQ and the Contracting Officer’s Representative. The award will be made using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, where technical proposals must be rated acceptable or unacceptable, with price being the primary determining factor after technical acceptability is established. Contractor performance will be systematically evaluated through a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan requiring 100% daily direct observation, quarterly random inspections, weekly review of customer complaints, and documentation of daily activities, with a 95% Acceptable Quality Level required and failure to meet standards potentially triggering a Contract Discrepancy Report and up to a 5% monthly invoice reduction. All invoices must be submitted electronically through the VA’s e-Invoicing System, and contractors must be registered vendors in the system at time of award; payment
