Summary
Amendment 0001 to the Department of Veterans Affairs’ RFP 36C24826R0068 for unarmed security guard services at VA Caribbean Healthcare System (VACHS) facilities extends the offer-submission deadline to August 13, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Atlantic Standard Time and issues vendor answers, a revised Performance Work Statement (PWS), and a revised price/cost schedule.
The procurement is an SBA small-business set-aside under NAICS 561612 and PSC S206, with performance at VA facilities throughout Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Offers and all related communications must be in English, submitted by email, and include a signed acknowledgment of the amendment.
The agency states that no further deadline extensions will be granted and that all solicitation provisions not changed by the amendment remain in effect.
The amendment confirms this is a follow-on competitive requirement to existing contract 36C24826P0808. The revised pricing structure requires an all-inclusive monthly price per security post, with uniforms and portable sanitary facilities treated as operating costs rather than separate CLINs.
No patrol vehicle, electronic guard-tour system, separate overtime rate, or special-event hourly rate is required in the proposal. Manual patrol logs are acceptable, reflective safety vests are required for traffic-control duties, and STOP/SLOW paddles and whistles are not required.
Coverage requirements are performance-based, meaning contractors must determine staffing and relief arrangements for posts with meal periods, 8.5-hour coverage windows, and 24/7 operations while complying with applicable labor laws. Security guards are designated essential personnel and may be required to remain at specified facilities during declared emergencies.
The VA will provide food, water, shelter, and other necessary support when guards must remain beyond their scheduled tours.
Offerors must verify small-business status in SAM.gov at the time of submission and comply with applicable SBA limitations on subcontracting, including measurement at the close of each order and recognition of similarly situated small-business subcontractors under NAICS 561612.
Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands agency and guard licensing requirements apply based on the location of performance. A licensed subcontractor may satisfy the agency-license requirement subject to subcontracting limitations, licenses must be active at proposal submission, and guards assigned exclusively to St. Croix or St. Thomas need only the applicable USVI credentials under USVI Code Title 23, Chapter 17.
The required personnel investigation is Non-Sensitive, Low Risk, Tier 1/NACI, with estimated fingerprint adjudication and PIV processing of approximately one week. Guards with valid VA PIV credentials may receive reciprocity and transition immediately.
The Lead Guard may travel among facilities during the required Monday-Friday, 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. shift to conduct quality-control inspections, provided the contractor proposes an effective coverage strategy.
