Yellowstone National Cemetery National Shrine Project

The Yellowstone National Cemetery National Shrine Project, solicited under number 36C78626B50214, is a total Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside for construction work valued between $100,000 and $250,000 under NAICS code 237990. The contract requires site restoration services including upright headstone realignment, turf renovation, and irrigation system modifications at the cemetery located in Laurel, Montana. Only SDVOSBs verified in the VA’s certification database are eligible to bid, and the solicitation enforces strict subcontracting limitations: no more than 85% of the total contract value may be subcontracted for general construction. Offerors must submit a signed certification of compliance with these restrictions under penalty of 18 U.S.C. § 1001, and must be prepared to provide invoices, subcontracts, and payroll data upon government request for audit purposes. The project is subject to the Davis-Bacon Act, mandating payment of prevailing wages and fringe benefits with regular submission of certified payroll records, and violations may result in payment withholdings, liquidated damages, debarment, or criminal prosecution. All proposals must be submitted electronically via SAM.gov by the deadline of August 27, 2026, with the National Cemetery Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, serving as the contracting office. The Contracting Officer, Daniel P. Kinney, is the sole point of contact listed for inquiries, while no Contracting Officer’s Representative or detailed technical specifications have been provided beyond the general scope of work. The contract is structured as an Invitation for Bid, typically implying a firm-fixed-price arrangement, and places full responsibility on the offeror to meet SDVOSB eligibility criteria, ensure labor compliance, and perform all work primarily with company employees rather than subcontractors. No packaging, marking, or invoicing procedures are detailed, and no evaluation factors, weights, or award rationale are disclosed in the available documentation.
