AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 21, plans to award a sole-source, firm-fixed price contract for two months of security guard services beginning September 1, 2026, and ending October 31, 2026, at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. The action is justified under VAAR Part 8119.7008, permitting sole-source awards to certified service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, with the North American Industry Classification System code 561612 for security guards and patrol services. The contract is intended solely for the incumbent provider, 365 Facilitators, Inc., which holds SDVOSB certification and is located in Austin, Texas, due to the determination that no other source can meet the agency's needs without unacceptable delay or duplication of cost. This is not a competitive solicitation, and no formal request for proposals is being issued; however, interested parties may submit a capabilities statement to the Contracting Officer within fifteen calendar days of the notice’s publication, though responses will not be compensated and do not obligate the government to award a contract. The notice serves as a presolicitation announcement with a response deadline of August 10, 2026, and is publicly accessible through the SAM.gov portal. While the current action is a short-term bridge to maintain uninterrupted service, a broader long-term solicitation via Request for Quote is expected to be issued within the following month, with an anticipated award before the two-month contract expires. Respondents must disclose their business size status, including whether they are small, small-disadvantaged, 8(a), woman-owned, or foreign-owned, and must clearly mark any proprietary information submitted. The point of contact for all inquiries is Contracting Officer Cynthia Diezel, reachable only by email at cyntiha.diezel@va.gov, with no telephone inquiries accepted. The placement of performance is designated under the VA Palo Alto Health Care System, and the solicitation number is 36C26126Q1109.
