- Description
- The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), National Cemetery Administration (NCA) plans to establish a contract for Thermoplastic Lawn Crypts at the Puerto Rico National Cemetery. The NCA plans to establish indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract to purchase a Poly Containment System for a base year consisting of approximately 4,000 crypts and include 4 one-year options for approximately 1,500 crypts per year. The base year of 4,000 crypts are to be installed (in Puerto Rico National Cemetery) within 365 days of receipt of a Notice To Proceed. The remaining option years are to be exercised at the option of the government. The locations for the crypts in the option years will be determined in the individual delivery orders for the crypts on an as needed basis. The approximately value of the contract is between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000. The Department of Veterans Affairs plans on negotiating a sole source contract for the poly containment system with one known contractor unless we can find other contractors who can make a similar acceptable poly containment system. The VA would like all interested contractors to review the attached description of the Poly Containment System (Section 06500) to be used for our Thermoplastic Lawn Crypts and submit any information they have for any products that are same or similar. The VA will review all technical information furnished by the contractors to make a determination as to whether there is more than one supplier for Thermoplastic Lawn Crypts before negotiating a sole source contract. For more information concerning the lawn crypts, please contact the Project Manager, John Sourbeer, at phone (202) 565-6807. You may also contact the project manager by email at: john.sourbeer@va.gov.
