R602--Armored Car Service for RMR

The Department of Veterans Affairs Eastern Colorado Health Care System is seeking armored car services for cash and electronic transaction security at its Aurora facility, with a performance period starting November 10, 2025, and extending through a base year plus four optional renewal years. The contract, issued under solicitation number 36C25926Q0045, is a firm-fixed price, unrestricted procurement under NAICS code 561613, with an estimated total duration of up to five and a half years. The scope includes secure pick-up and delivery of cash twice weekly, adherence to strict timing and security protocols, and compliance with federal standards, including the Service Contract Act wage determinations for Colorado. Offerors must submit separate technical and pricing proposals by November 6, 2025, via email to the designated Contract Specialist, with proposals limited to 4MB and properly marked proprietary information. The solicitation incorporates numerous FAR and VAAR clauses covering ethical standards, security requirements, subcontracting, and certifications, but does not specify a set-aside or small business preference. The evaluation will be based on technical capability and price, with the government reserving the right to award based on best value rather than lowest price alone. The contract mandates the provision of bond coverage, proof of insurance, and a list of authorized personnel within five days of award. Performance monitoring will be conducted by the Contracting Officer’s Representative, with the contractor responsible for maintaining secure, sealed shipments and accurate records from receipt to delivery. The agreement emphasizes compliance with security protocols, timely notifications for missed pickups or deliveries, and proper documentation, ensuring the VA’s cash handling operations are secure and efficient over the contract term.
