36C78626Q50125 -- S208

This contract is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under NAICS code 561720, issued by the National Cemetery Administration of the Department of Veterans Affairs for janitorial services at the Rock Island National Cemetery in Rock Island, Illinois. The solicitation, numbered 36C78626Q50125, was posted on June 23, 2026, with proposals due by July 6, 2026, and will be awarded through a best value source selection process under FAR Part 12 procedures. The contract includes a one-year base period followed by four one-year option periods, each extending to 365 calendar days from the award date. Performance is strictly limited to the specified location, and all contractor personnel must comply with stringent security requirements including background checks, visitor pass acquisition at the Moline Visitor Control Center, completion of mandatory Security Awareness Training, and adherence to key control protocols—duplicating or losing keys results in the contractor bearing the full cost of lock replacement. The work involves daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual cleaning tasks across facility areas including restrooms, offices, common spaces, and hard and carpeted flooring, as detailed in the Performance Work Statement and supporting checklists. Compliance with VA, NCS, and OSHA regulations is mandatory, and the contractor must implement a documented quality control program submitted within 15 days of award, including inspection schedules and corrective action procedures. Payment is to be made monthly in arrears only after verification by the Contracting Officer’s Representative; invoices for unsatisfactory performance may be reduced or rejected entirely, and the contractor is liable for all damages to government property. The contractor must also provide required certifications including Buy American, biobased product compliance, and limitations on subcontracting, maintain specified insurance levels, indemnify the government against personal injury claims, and operate under SAM registration and maintenance requirements. All submissions must be emailed to the designated point of contact without altering solicitation documents, and failure to submit any required certification will render the offer ineligible.
