The Department of Veterans Affairs seeks a service-disabled veteran-owned small business to provide refrigeration maintenance and repair services across multiple locations in Colorado. The contract, with a one-year base and four option years, covers monthly inspections, emergency repairs, and parts replacement for various refrigeration units. Offerors must meet EPA requirements and have extensive experience in refrigeration. Evaluation criteria include technical ability, past performance, and price. Quotes are requested for each contract line item, encompassing various refrigeration units at different sites, with the possibility of extensions based on FAR clauses. The scope encompasses equipment across numerous VA sites, emphasizing timely response and coordination with facility staff, and adhering to safety, clothing, and conduct guidelines. The VA emphasizes the need for prompt response to emergencies and strict compliance with federal and state regulations. Businesses must submit their quotes electronically by the specified deadline.

This document details an amendment to a previous solicitation for refrigeration services (Solicitation Number: 36C25924Q0738) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The key update is the change from a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside to a Small Business Set-Aside, due to a lack of acceptable SDVOSB offers. The new submission deadline is set for September 13, 2024, at 4:00 PM Mountain Daylight Time. Offers submitted in response to the initial solicitation will not be considered. The location for the work is identified as the Department of Veterans Affairs Eastern Colorado Health Care System in Aurora, Colorado. All other requirements and details of the original RFQ, excluding the set-aside designation and deadline, remain unchanged. This amendment underscores the Department's efforts to solicit viable offers from small businesses while ensuring the procurement process continues effectively.
