Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has formally cancelled Request for Quotation (RFQ) 36C25026Q0253 for furniture repair and moving services at the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center in Detroit, MI. This cancellation, posted on February 23, 2026, is a result of updated market research indicating sufficient competition among Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). The requirement will be resolicited as a 100% SDVOSB set-aside.
Scope of Change
This amendment cancels the previously issued RFQ 36C25026Q0253 in its entirety. All prior submission deadlines, requirements, and associated documents for this RFQ are now void. The VA intends to resolicit this requirement as a 100% SDVOSB set-aside, in accordance with the VA Rule of Two and 38 U.S.C. § 8127(d).
Original Requirement Details (Cancelled)
The cancelled RFQ sought a Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for comprehensive furniture repair, maintenance, and relocation services. The original period of performance was anticipated to be a two-year open ordering period, funded annually, with a base period from March 31, 2026, to March 30, 2027, plus four option years. Services included repair of various furniture brands (Herman Miller, Steelcase, Kimball, Teknion, Haworth, UNICOR), furniture relocation, and inventory assistance. The original response date was February 23, 2026, 12:00 PM EST.
Eligibility / Set-Aside
The original RFQ had conflicting set-aside information (Total Small Business, Unrestricted, or SDVOSB in different documents). However, the future resolicitation will be a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside. The relevant NAICS Code is 811420 (Reupholstery and Furniture Repair), with a small business size standard of $9 Million. The PSC Code is J071 (Maintenance, Repair And Rebuilding Of Equipment: Furniture).
Action for Bidders
All previous submissions for RFQ 36C25026Q0253 are no longer valid. Interested SDVOSB firms should monitor SAM.gov for the new solicitation. Questions regarding the cancellation or future resolicitation can be directed to Contracting Officer Elizabeth Koses at elizabeth.koses@va.gov.
