FY24 Ft Snelling Natl Shrine Award -- Y1PZ

The FY24 Ft Snelling National Shrine project, solicitation number QSE-36C78624R50435, is a sole source contract awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration to Byrd Enterprises Unlimited (BEU), LLC. This award is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 237990. The project focuses on shrine renovations at the Ft Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis, Minnesota, specifically involving specialized work such as raise and realignments, turf renovation, and irrigation renovation. The government justified the sole source award based on BEU's status as the incumbent contractor for both the FY23 Shrine project and the Headstone Setting contract. Due to extremely limited staging space at the facility, the contracting officer determined that introducing multiple contractors would hinder progress and complicate communication. BEU was selected due to its exceptional past performance and extensive experience with similar scopes of work across various National Cemetery Administration sites, ensuring seamless coordination and continuity of operations.
