This document is an amendment to a combined solicitation (36C24726Q0535) for Air Freshener Services at the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the Columbia VA Healthcare in Columbia, SC. The amendment clarifies several aspects of the solicitation. Key points include: it is a new contract with no incumbent, services will cover up to 70 restroom areas (one dispenser per restroom), and the installation will be new. The required air fresheners are odor neutralizers containing metazene, with a monthly service/refill frequency or as needed if cans empty sooner. All service locations are on the WJB Dorn campus. A walk-through with the awarded vendor will determine specific locations and stall counts after the award. The deadline for questions has passed, and the solicitation will close on May 22, 2026, at 10:00 CST, with no extensions or late submissions accepted. Answers to all questions will be posted an hour after the question phase closes.
