M1LZ--Parking Attendant (Valet) Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6 is soliciting parking attendant valet services for the Central Virginia VA Medical Center in Richmond, Virginia. This total set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) aims to alleviate parking difficulties for Veteran patients, particularly those with mobility challenges, managing an average volume of 500 to 600 cars per day. The contract includes a base period starting October 1, 2026, with option periods extending the total duration up to five years. The incumbent contractor, Seventh Dimension, LLC, held a previous award valued at approximately 2.29 million dollars. The selected contractor must provide all necessary resources, including lockable key cabinets, claim checks, and safety equipment, while adhering to a strict 10-minute service standard for vehicle parking and retrieval. Performance is monitored by the government through periodic surveillance and a 100 percent review of monthly reports, with an acceptable quality level of 95 percent. Key requirements include a valid Virginia insurance license, specific liability coverage for general and automobile insurance, and mandatory background investigations and PIV identification for all personnel. Award will be based on a best value determination considering price, past performance in high-volume healthcare parking, and a technical management approach. Proposals must include a technical plan not exceeding 25 pages, a staffing plan, and a transition strategy to prevent service gaps. Evaluation factors emphasize the ability to execute core operations directly, with a strict prohibition on the acceptance of tips by staff.
