This amendment to Solicitation Number 36C26126Q0095 for the Department of Veterans Affairs extends the offer receipt deadline from November 7, 2025, to November 13, 2025, both at 10 AM PST. Additionally, it provides responses to vendor questions. A key clarification addresses the solicitation's set-aside status for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). Despite inquiries from non-SDVOSB firms regarding participation or partnering opportunities, market research confirmed that the "Rule of Two" was met with responses from two SDVOSBs, thus maintaining the SDVOSB set-aside. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged.

The Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) outlines the government's method for evaluating contractor performance against contract terms. It details what, how, and by whom monitoring will occur, and how results will be documented. The QASP emphasizes the contractor's responsibility for quality control while the government ensures objective evaluation. Key government roles include the Contracting Officer (CO), responsible for overall contract compliance and final performance determination, and the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), who handles technical administration and surveillance. Performance standards are defined in the QASP and will be used to rate the contractor, influencing past performance evaluations. Surveillance methods include direct observation, periodic inspection, validated complaints, and documentation review. The document also provides a sample table of performance measures, outlining acceptable quality levels and potential incentives or disincentives. Contractor performance will be rated as Exceptional, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, or Unsatisfactory. Both positive and negative performance will be documented, with deficiencies potentially leading to Contract Discrepancy Reports (CDRs) and required corrective action plans. The COR will provide quarterly performance reports to the CO.
