Some details weren't available to this summary, so it may miss requirements. Check the attachments on SAM.gov.
The VA's Northern California health care system (Network Contracting Office 21) wants a contractor to do on-site ergonomic evaluations and training at its medical center and outpatient clinics around Sacramento, the Bay Area, the Central Valley and the foothills. The base period runs 11-15-2026 to 11-14-2027, priced per evaluation. This is a total small business set-aside, and the Performance Work Statement (the detailed task list) was cut off in the text provided, so the brief is incomplete.
Watch out for
- Conflicting due dates. SAM.gov and the summary document say offers are due 10-21-2026 at 3:00 PM Pacific, but the SF 1449 form says 10-28-2026, so confirm the date with the contracting officer and plan for the earlier one.

- Key sections were not visible. The middle of the main RFQ was left out, including the Performance Work Statement, the clauses and the instructions and evaluation sections, so scope, evaluation factors and submission method need to be checked in the full solicitation on SAM.gov.
- Service Contract Act wage rates. Department of Labor wage determinations for nine California county areas apply, so labor costs must be priced at or above those rates, with required fringe benefits.
Dept. of Labor Wage Rate Schedules will apply to this
- Many sites across a wide area. Evaluations are spread over at least 12 sites from Redding to Sonora, so travel time and cost could be large for a small firm.
- Past performance references required. Each reference must complete and sign a survey sent straight to the VA, so you need contacts who are ready to respond before the deadline.
A separate survey must be completed and signed for each reference.
