However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted. (3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume. (4) Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at any time before award. (d) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror s initial offer should contain the Offeror s best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received. (e) Debriefings. If a postaward debriefing is given to requesting Offerors, the Government will disclose the following information, if applicable: (1) The agency s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed Offeror s offer. (2) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful Offeror and the debriefed Offeror and past performance information on the debriefed Offeror. (3) The overall ranking of all Offerors when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection. (4) A summary of the rationale for award. (5) For acquisitions of commercial products, the make and model of the product to be delivered by the successful Offeror. (6) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed Offeror as to whether the agency followed source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities.

The Government will evaluate quotations using the comparative evaluation process outlined in, where quotations will be compared to one another to determine which provides the best benefit to the Government. The Government reserves the right to consider a quotation other than the lowest price that provides additional benefit(s). Quotations may exceed minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government reserves the right to select a quotation that provides benefit to the Government that exceeds the minimum requirements of the solicitation but is not required to do so. Each response must meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. The Government is not requesting or accepting alternate quotations. The evaluation will consider the following: Technical or Quality: The quotation will be evaluated to the extent to which it can meet and/or exceed the Government s requirements as outlined in the solicitation and based on the information requested in the instructions to quoters section of the solicitation.

Quoters shall also demonstrate their ability to arrive on site and commence required snow and ice-control operations within one (1) hour of notification or an applicable triggering condition. Failure to demonstrate the ability to meet these requirements may result in the quotation being determined technically unacceptable. Past Performance: The past performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with a quoter s likelihood of success in fulfilling the solicitation s requirements as indicated by the quoter s record of past performance. The past performance evaluation may be based on the contracting officer s knowledge of and previous experience with the supply or service being acquired; Customer surveys, and past performance questionnaire replies; Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) at http://www.cpars.gov/; or any other reasonable basis. Price: Price: The Government will evaluate the total price for all base-period line items in the quotation.

Questions: Due to the urgent nature of this requirement and the need for immediate performance upon contract award, the Government will not establish a formal question-and-answer period for this solicitation. Offerors are expected to review the solicitation and all attachments in their entirety before submitting quotations.

Grounds maintenance services for Riverside National Cemetery. Purpose of this amendment is to clarify an answer provided by the program office via amendment 0006 and to extend the deadline for proposals to allow offerors additional time to absorb the clarification provided in amendment 0011. The answer to question number 34 in amendment 0006 was not intended to direct an offeror to propose any specific type of certification. Rather, as PWS 1.8.20 states, "The on-site manager must have a minimum of five (5) years' experience as a direct supervisor of commercial landscape maintenance/installation operations and be accredited by the Landscape Contractors Association, OR EQUIVALENT accreditation program, (e.g., PLANET)." The deadline for proposals has been extended to 11/16/2026. Also, the NCA Contracting Office has been experiencing technical difficulties publishing to Contract Opportunities. Please reach out to Ralph.Crum@va.gov if you are missing the base solicitation and amendments 0001 through 0010 and I will provide links/copies. | Special Notice | 11/16/2026 |
