Department of Veterans Affairs · 250-NETWORK CONTRACT OFFICE 10 (36C250)
Account requiredWhy it scored this way
Every reason behind the verdict rather than the headline one — which of your certifications match, how much runway is left, whether the work is your size, and what we would need to know to sharpen it.
The requirements that decide a bid — bonding, clearances, experience minimums, page limits — live in the attachments, not in the notice above. Start a free trial to upload them and have them read.
Draft the paperwork
Written against this notice and what you have told us about your company. Anything we do not know is marked [NEEDS INPUT] in the draft rather than guessed at — read it before you send it. Federal notices routinely put the real requirement in an attachment; adding the documents above makes every one of these materially better.
Start a free trial to draft these. Nothing is sent to an agency on your behalf, ever — you get a document to review, edit and submit yourself.
What would disqualify you
Read straight from the solicitation documents: the bonding, clearances, insurance minimums, experience thresholds and deadlines that decide whether you can bid at all — before you write a word.
Compliance matrix
Every stated and implied requirement, its source section, whether it is mandatory, and where your response will address it.
Proposal outline
A submission skeleton where every required element is a heading with its source requirement quoted beneath it. You write the substance; nothing gets forgotten.
Questions to submit
Genuine ambiguities and requirements that disadvantage a smaller bidder, drafted as questions you can submit before the Q&A deadline.
Past performance write-ups
Which of your prior awards best match this requirement, and draft write-ups in the format the agency asked for.

Account requiredWho wins this work, and what it pays
Comparable awards under NAICS 238210 at this agency — the incumbent, what they were paid, when their period of performance ends, and the real pricing distribution rather than the headline number. From public federal award records.
Description: Â The Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center (RLR VAMC) has developed this project for the purpose of replacing and expanding the electrical distribution infrastructure serving the A-Wing of Building 1 (the main hospital tower). Generally, the work shall be required to include, but not be limited to the replacement and expansion of the secondary electrical distribution system serving A-Wing of Building 1 and the expansion and modification of the existing primary Medical Center campus electrical distribution system as required to support those improvements including work associated within Building 01 (A-Wing), Building 23, and adjacent exterior/campus utility areas as indicated in the contract drawings and specifications. Â Definitization of Equitable Adjustments: Â When/if change orders are issued under the resulting contract, they will be issued under the following authority(s): FAR 52.243-4, Changes (JUL 2025) (Deviation), VAAR 852.243-70, Construction Contract Changes Supplement (SEP 2019). Â The agency will follow the procedures located at FAR 43, VAAR 843 and VAAM M843. The Contracting Officer will make the final decisions for items not addressed by regulation or policy. Â The agency's past performance, for the prior 3 fiscal years, regarding the time required to definitize equitable adjustments for change orders under construction contracts will be posted as soon as it is available. Â Additional Acquisition Information: Â All responsible sources may submit a quotation, bid, or proposal, as appropriate, which will be considered by the agency. Â At the time of submission of offers/quotes, and at the time of award of any contract, the offeror must represent to the contracting officer that it is a SDVOSB/VOSB eligible under this subpart, small business concern under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to the acquisition and certified SDVOSB/VOSB listed in the SBA certification database at https://search.certifications.sba.gov. Â A joint venture may be considered eligible if it meets the requirements in 13 CFR part 128, and the managing joint venture partner makes the representations. To receive a benefit under the Veterans First Contacting Program, an otherwise eligible SDVOSB/VOSB certified pursuant to 13 CFR 128, must also meet SBA requirements at 13 CFR parts 121, 125, and 128 including the nonmanufacturer rule requirements at 13 CFR 121.406(b) and limitations on subcontracting at 13 CFR 125.6. The nonmanufacturer rule (see 13 CFR 121.406) and the limitations on subcontracting requirements apply to all SDVOSB and VOSB set-aside and sole source contracts above the micro-purchase threshold. In addition, an offeror shall submit a certification of compliance to be considered eligible for any award under this part (see 819.7004). Pursuant to 38 USC 8127(g), any business concern that is determined by VA to have willfully and intentionally misrepresented a company s SDVOSB/VOSB status is subject to debarment from contracting with the Department for a period of not less than five years. This includes the debarment of all principals in the business. Â System updates may lag policy updates. The System for Award Management (SAM) may continue to require entities to complete representations based on provisions that are not included in this solicitation. Contracting officers will rely on representations from offers based on provisions in the solicitation. Entities are not required to, nor are they able to, update their entity registration to remove these representations in SAM. Â ***End of Presolicitation Notice***
