Z1LZ--663A4-26-001 AMLK Parking Lot Striping

This contract solicitation, identified as 36C26026R0050 and titled Z1LZ--663A4-26-001 CON NRM: AMLK Parking Lot Striping, is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under NAICS code 237310 for the annual restriping of parking lots, roads, crosswalks, parking garages, speed bumps, hash marks, bus stops, and other painted markings at the VA Puget Sound Health Care System’s American Lake campus in Tacoma, Washington. The work spans a base year and four optional years, with an estimated total contract value between $1 million and $5 million, and performance is scheduled within a 90-day window each year during June and July to minimize disruption to hospital operations. The contractor must comply with strict technical standards including the Unified Facilities Guide Specification for Pavement Markings, Washington State Department of Transportation requirements, and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, using materials such as reflective glass spheres conforming to FS TT-B-1325 Type I and AASHTO M 247 Type 1, applied at a rate of 0.24 kg per square meter. Work must be executed during evenings, nights, or weekends, require a phased management plan for approval, and involve coordination to ensure safety and operational continuity across the campus. The contract mandates strict compliance with federal regulations including the Buy American Act for construction materials, limitations on subcontracting (no more than 50% of work performed by subcontractors), and adherence to construction waste management protocols requiring recycling and diversion from landfills. Payment will be on a firm-fixed-price basis, with electronic invoicing required through a system yet to be specified, and will be processed by the Financial Services Center in Austin, Texas. The procurement uses a best-value trade-off approach, evaluating technical approach, past performance, and price equally in aggregate, with non-price factors capable of justifying selection of a higher-priced offeror. Offerors must submit sealed proposals in two volumes—technical and price—with the technical narrative capped at 15 pages, and must self-certify as an SDVOSB with a valid UEI and CAGE code, while also addressing security prohibitions on use of covered telecommunications equipment and foreign-controlled products. The solicitation is open for questions and responses through April 24, 20
