Z1PZ--Elevator Maintenance & Service

The contract for Elevator Maintenance & Service under solicitation number 36C25726Q0663-0001 is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside with a total estimated value of $22,000,000, awarded under NAICS code 238290, targeting comprehensive elevator maintenance at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Amarillo, Texas. The base performance period runs from August 30, 2026, through August 29, 2027, with four one-year option periods extending potential performance through August 29, 2031, subject to government exercise. The contract includes two line items per period: monthly preventive maintenance services and unforeseen repairs with a Not-To-Exceed (NTE) ceiling. Offerors must demonstrate technical capability through a documented approach to management, communication, reporting, and compliance with ASME A17 series codes, ANSI/NFPA 70, OSHA, EPA, NFPA life safety standards, and VA Directive 10-95-093. All work requires on-site performance during standard business hours with 24/7 emergency response capability — one hour for entrapments and two hours for critical malfunctions — and mandates submission of daily service logs, inspection reports, MSDS for chemicals used, and approved safety programs. The solicitation mandates strict socio-economic eligibility verification through the SBA database for SDVOSB status, with offerors required to self-certify size and ownership and comply with VA-specific limitations on subcontracting, which trigger post-award reporting obligations if awarded.

Contractor personnel must wear uniforms with clearly displayed company and individual identifiers, adhere to VA facility rules, and implement a formal quality control program. Invoicing is exclusively through the Tungsten Network, and payments will be processed via Electronic Funds Transfer to the VA Network Contracting Office in San Antonio.
