J061--Triennial Electrical Inspection - VAACC Columbus

The solicitation amendment 0005 to contract number 36C25026Q0318 updates the original solicitation for Triennial Electrical Inspection services under the Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 10, by adding FAR clause 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors (APR 2026). This clause mandates strict compliance with federal anti-discrimination standards, prohibiting contractors from engaging in racially discriminatory practices in employment, contracting, or program participation under the guise of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Contractors are required to flow this clause down to all subcontracts, except those performed outside the United States, and must report any known violations by subcontractors, notify the Contracting Officer of any related litigation, and provide unrestricted access to records upon request. Failure to comply may result in contract termination, suspension, or ineligibility for future federal awards, as compliance is deemed material to payment under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4). The action is targeted at Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, with performance located in Columbus, Ohio, and the solicitation closed for responses by May 28, 2026. No pricing details, period of performance, evaluation factors, or packaging and marking requirements are specified in this amendment. The primary point of contact is Contract Specialist Ryan Stark, with Brian Kish as the designated Contracting Officer, while no Contracting Officer Representative or technical representative is identified. Administrative updates are effective as of May 11, 2026, though the original contract type, delivery schedule, and payment instructions remain undefined in the available documentation.
