From the notice

Modification 2 to Presolicitation Notice 36C25527R0007, P/N 657-27-209JB, Project Title: Renovate Building 1 and 53 Main Lobbies. This modification provides answers to RFIs received, revised evaluation criteria and revised supplement B per below RFIs. The SF330 submission due date is extended from November 10, 2026 to November 16, 2026. RFIs Received with VA Responses in blue text: Construction Budget questions: Is that the Estimated Cost of Construction or the maximum for the A/E Design Fee? Estimated Cost of Construction If the $949,026 is the construction budget, this appears low in today's environment given that over 6,000 SF needs to be renovated.

What you'll need to bid

  • A quote or proposal form. Usually the SF-1449 (or SF-18 for small quotes), filled in and signed, with a price for every line and option year.
  • Active SAM.gov registration. Free from the government, and it must be active before award. It can take a few weeks, so start early (how to register).
  • Acknowledgment of every amendment (SF-30). Missing one is the most common reason a good offer gets thrown out.
  • Prices that respect the wage rules. Many federal service contracts include a Service Contract Act wage determination setting minimum pay and benefits for each job category. Price your labor from it.
  • Past performance and a short technical write-up, if the notice asks for them (no past performance yet?).
  • A clear staffing and quality plan, if the notice evaluates technical approach: who does the work, how you'll cover absences, and how you'll check quality.

Always check the notice itself: the instructions in the solicitation win over any general rule.
