L099--Onsite Inscription Services for Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery

The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration is soliciting quotes for a firm-fixed-price IDIQ contract to provide onsite inscription services for government-furnished headstones, markers, and niche covers at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St. Louis, Missouri. This acquisition is a 100 percent small business set-aside. The contract consists of a ten-month base period running from December 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with four subsequent one-year options extending the performance period through September 30, 2031. The scope includes providing all labor and materials to perform air blast abrasion inscriptions on various monument types, including granite markers, marble niche covers, and upright headstones, with estimated quantities ranging from 1,000 to 25,000 units. Award will be based on a comparative evaluation process where technical capability and past performance are weighted more heavily than price. Offerors must submit a technical volume, a past performance volume with up to five references, and physical inscription samples for evaluation. Key requirements include the provision of a site manager and operations manager, adherence to strict quality standards regarding inscription depth and layout, and the ability to establish an onsite facility within 25 calendar days of award. Performance is monitored through weekly status reports and a formal contract discrepancy report process, with a requirement to make inscribed monuments available for inspection within ten business days of the initial order. Invoicing is processed through the Tungsten system following government acceptance.
