- Description
- The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Office of Construction & Facilities Management is looking for historic preservation firms that are SDVOSB, VOSB, and/or WOSB. Additionally, the VA is looking for firms that are SBA certified in the following programs: 8(a), 8(a) ANC, HUBZone and SDB. The firm must be a firm approved under NAICS Code 541690 with a small business size standard of $6.5 Million and meet the Secretary of Interior's Historic Preservation Professional Qualification Standards for Architectural History or History, per 36 CFR Part 61. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) requires the services of a professional historic preservation firm to assist with several different historic preservation and NHPA Section 106 compliance tasks at various locations throughout the country. The National Cemetery Administration (NCA), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), oversees 125 national cemeteries and 33 soldiers' lots, of which the majority are technically historic and listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). It is NCA's policy to categorize its monuments as "historic," regardless of their age, and it is NCA's policy to accept appropriate, new donated monuments. NCA's monuments are found throughout the United States, but the oldest and most significant are located predominantly east of the Mississippi River. Thematically these are generally associated with the Civil War or multiple U.S. conflicts. In 2006, NCA completed an initial, comprehensive survey of its monuments/memorials in partnership with the Save Outdoor Sculpture! (SOS!) program of Heritage Preservation Inc.; this data is updated annually to assure that new monuments are documented. The oldest and most significant monuments will be identified by the History Program, NCA. NCA will prioritize and locate the monuments within manageable working "clusters" (such as a 50-mile radius) in cooperation with the contractor, to initiate the project. The contractor shall assure that a range of conservators with expertise in assessment and treatment of outdoor sculpture, located throughout the country, are available for site visits and preparation of assessment documentation. At this time, no solicitation exists, therefore, DO NOT REQUEST A SOLICITATION. Contractors having the skills and capabilities necessary to perform the stated requirements and can answer YES to all of the above; please forward an email (ONLY) to noella.bond@va.gov with the following information: 1. Name and address of your firm. 2. Name, phone number, and email address of a point of contact. 3. DUNS number. 4. Certified business type.
