The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 9 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, has awarded a firm-fixed-price contract under solicitation number 36C24926Q0156 for the furnish and install of a Modernfold Encore partition at the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System’s Alvin C. York Campus in Murfreesboro, TN. The contract is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, with a period of performance running from May 4, 2026, through September 30, 2026. The work is delivered under FOB destination terms, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the delivery site. While no pricing details are provided in the document, the contract employs a best-value trade-off approach for award, evaluating price alongside the offeror’s experience with VA projects and past performance using FAPIIS and CPARS data. The solicitation requires strict compliance with a comprehensive suite of FAR and VAAR clauses, including those mandating adherence to the Buy American Act, paid sick leave and minimum wage requirements under Executive Orders, anti-trafficking protections, cybersecurity prohibitions against covered foreign technology, and electronic invoicing through the VA’s EIPP system. Offerors must certify their SDVOSB status, provide UEI and CAGE codes for themselves and all immediate owners, and affirm compliance with U.S. sanctions and export control laws. Packaging, preservation, and labeling requirements are not explicitly detailed in the contract, though compliance with TAA and Buy American Act provisions implies the necessity for proper country of origin marking. The contract includes implied option periods and requires subcontracting limitations to be met, with no designated COR or COTR listed. All payments must be processed electronically through VA’s designated systems, with the VA Financial Services Center in Austin, Texas, serving as the remittance point. The award is contingent upon successful verification of socioeconomic status and full adherence to regulatory obligations, with no physical or technical specifications beyond performance standards tied to ASTM E84 flame resistance for vinyl materials.
