The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 19, has issued Solicitation Number 36C25926Q0123 for Kitchen Hood Cleaning services. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation notice with a response deadline of December 15, 2025, at 4:30 PM Mountain Time, Denver, USA. The procurement is set aside for the Small Business Administration (SBA) and falls under Product Service Code J041 and NAICS Code 561790. The place of performance is the Cheyenne VA Medical Center, located at 2360 East Pershing Blvd., Cheyenne, WY 82001. The point of contact for this solicitation is Contracting Officer Aaron Thurber. The solicitation includes several attached documents, such as the Statement of Work, Wage Determination, pictures, and City of Cheyenne Contractor Licensing Regulations, which provide further details regarding the requirements.

This Statement of Work outlines requirements for commercial kitchen hood and duct cleaning and inspection services at the Cheyenne VA Medical Center. The contractor must provide all labor, equipment, and materials to remove grease, dirt, and other deposits from exhaust systems in various locations, including the Cowboy Building and Douglas Fir Canteen. Personnel must be trained and certified according to NFPA 96 and IKECA standards, and licensed by the City of Cheyenne. Cleaning must be thorough, using approved methods and non-flammable, non-toxic solvents, while protecting kitchen equipment and ensuring fire extinguishing systems remain operational or are properly managed if temporarily disabled. Services are required quarterly, coordinated with the facility, and performed when facilities are closed. After cleaning, the contractor must provide a certificate of cleaning and a written report on inaccessible areas or system conditions. Satisfactory performance is defined by the absence of foreign matter and a uniform, non-oily appearance in accordance with NFPA Standard 96. The Facility Manager serves as the Quality Control Inspector.

This document, Wage Determination No. 2015-5405 Revision No. 26, issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, outlines minimum wage rates and fringe benefits for service contract workers in Laramie County, Wyoming. It details two Executive Orders: EO 14026, setting a minimum of $17.75/hour for contracts entered into or renewed after January 30, 2022, and EO 13658, setting $13.30/hour for contracts awarded between January 1, 2015, and January 29, 2022, not subsequently renewed. The document also specifies health and welfare benefits ($5.55/hour or $5.09/hour for EO 13706-covered contracts), vacation (2-4 weeks based on service), and eleven paid holidays. Special provisions include night and Sunday pay for air traffic controllers and weather observers, hazardous duty differentials, and uniform allowances. A conformance process for unlisted occupations is also detailed.

The document repeatedly specifies locations within the Cheyenne VA Cowboy Building 1, primarily focusing on the 2nd Floor Nutrition and Foods Kitchen and the Community Living Center 1st floor wall hood. This repetition suggests that the file is likely detailing specific areas requiring attention, possibly for maintenance, upgrades, or as part of a larger project within these designated spaces. The context of government RFPs, federal grants, and state/local RFPs indicates that this file is a concise and direct reference to particular sites for a proposed project or service.

The City of Cheyenne's Contractor Licensing Regulations aim to protect public health and safety by regulating building trades. The Contractor Licensing Board oversees licensing, setting requirements, fees, and procedures for issuance and revocation. Licenses are mandatory for various construction activities, requiring proof of insurance (worker's compensation and liability), successful examination completion, and adherence to specific experience and training for different contractor and trade licenses (e.g., Class A, B, R, C, D, F, and trade-specific licenses like plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and fire suppression). The regulations also detail application processes, eligibility criteria, temporary work authorizations, license duration, renewal, transfer restrictions, and exemptions for public utilities. Licensees are responsible for complying with all codes and regulations, obtaining permits, and ensuring subcontractors are licensed. Violations can lead to license suspension or revocation, with clear disciplinary and appeal procedures outlined.
