Y1PZ--810CM3033 Gravesite Expansion with FCA Deficiencies at Dayton National Cemetery

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Cemetery Administration (NCA) intends to issue Solicitation Number 36C78626B0007 for a gravesite expansion and facility condition assessment (FCA) deficiency corrections at Dayton National Cemetery. This project, set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), involves developing approximately 11 acres of undeveloped land. Key elements include the construction of 2,400 columbarium niches, 2,472 in-ground cremains sites, 7,508 pre-placed crypts, and 82 traditional casketed sites. Additionally, the project addresses FCA repairs, irrigation expansion, and various cemetery improvements, with an estimated value between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000. The period of performance is 18 months or 540 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. The full solicitation is anticipated to be posted on SAM.gov around April 20, 2026. Interested SDVOSBs must be verified in the SBA database and registered in SAM.gov.

VAAR 852.219-75 outlines the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) requirements for limitations on subcontracting for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) and veteran-owned small businesses (VOSBs) under 38 U.S.C. 8127(k)(2). Offerors must certify their compliance with specific subcontracting limitations based on the contract type: 50% for services (excluding construction), 85% for general construction, and 75% for special trade construction, ensuring that payments to non-VIP-listed SDVOSBs or VOSBs do not exceed these thresholds. The document specifies that materials costs are excluded for construction contracts. A false certification can lead to severe penalties, including criminal prosecution, fines, and debarment. Contractors must provide documentation to the VA upon request to verify compliance and are subject to review at any time. Failure to provide requested documents may result in remedial action. The certification must be completed, signed, and submitted with the offer, as failure to do so will deem the offer ineligible for award.
