VIARNG Safe Drinking Water Act Service

The VIARNG Safe Drinking Water Act Service solicitation, numbered W9127P26QA024, is a requirement issued by the Department of Defense for the Virgin Islands National Guard. The scope of work involves mandated Safe Drinking Water Act sampling, analysis, and PFAS monitoring and treatment at various facilities located in St. Croix and St. Thomas, including the Joint Force Headquarters, USPFO, and several armories. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price arrangement with a 12-month base period starting September 30, 2026, followed by four 12-month option years and a potential 6-month extension. This acquisition is set aside for Small Business, HUBZone Small Business, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS code 541380. The government will award the contract based on a best value tradeoff process, where non-priced factors are significantly more important than price. Evaluation criteria prioritize a technical approach that demonstrates a complete understanding of the Performance Work Statement, followed by past performance reviewed through CPARS or up to five previous contracts, and finally price. Contractors must adhere to strict security, identification, and quality control protocols, including the submission of specific training certificates and compliance with the Service Contract Act wage determinations for the Virgin Islands. Due to industry inquiries, the response deadline has been extended to September 18, 2026.
