Who can bid
- Be a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) verified in SBA VetCert and have an active System for Award Management (SAM.gov) registration at the time of submission. The VA rejects a quote if SDVOSB or veteran-owned status cannot be verified at submission and before award.
- Submit a bid bond (bid guarantee) with the quote, by the quote due date and time.
How to submit: Email only, one electronic copy under 10MB, to David Rovner (david.rovner@va.gov) and Charee Harris (charee.harris@va.gov). Faxed or mailed quotes are not permitted.. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (9)
From the version posted Oct 15, 2026.
- Serious: Only SDVOSB firms can bid. This is a total set-aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses verified in SBA VetCert, and other firms are not eligible to submit a quote.
- Serious: Bid bond, payment bond and performance bond all required. A construction contract of this size needs a surety (bonding company) willing to issue a bid bond with the quote and payment and performance bonds after award.
- Worth checking: Only quotes on the revised documents count. A quote built on the earlier documents will not be considered, and the VA will not say when the revised documents will be posted.

- Worth checking: Price Breakdown Sheet is mandatory. The sheet must price the general contractor and every subcontractor, with third-party inspections as a line item. A missing or incomplete sheet removes the quote from consideration.
- Worth checking: Contractor pays for third-party inspections and commissioning. The VA does no inspections for the contractor. You must hire third-party inspectors and commissioning help and price them in.
- Worth checking: Subcontracting limits certificate required. The signed VAAR 852.219-75 certificate shows the firm will keep enough of the work in-house, as VA set-asides require. Leaving it out may remove the quote.
- Worth checking: Past Performance Questionnaires must reach the VA on time. Your references must return the questionnaire themselves by the quote due date and time, so they need to be contacted early.
- Minor: The site visit was Sep 29, 2026. Check the notice and its amendments for whether attendance was required, and whether another visit is offered.
- Minor: Davis-Bacon wage determination CA20260018 applies. Davis-Bacon wage determinations set the minimum pay rates for construction workers, and your price must use them.
