Quick Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has issued a Notice of No Award for Solicitation 36C24126Q0290, which sought Monthly Cleaning Services for Pharmacy IV Rooms at the Manchester VAMC, NH. No award could be made because all quotes received under the 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside competition exceeded the allotted funding. The lowest quote surpassed the budget by 23.4%.

Original Requirement (Cancelled)

The solicitation, initially issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ), sought triple top-down cleaning of three pharmacy compounding cleanroom spaces (Anteroom E 124, Chemo hood room E 123, IV compounding positive pressure room E 125). Services were required to comply with VA pharmacy policy and USP 797/800 cleanroom regulations, including specific cleaning agents and trained personnel. The contract was planned for a base period of twelve months with four option years.

Key Details of the Cancelled Solicitation

  • Service: Monthly triple top-down cleaning of pharmacy compounding cleanroom spaces.
  • Location: Manchester VAMC, 718 Smyth Road, Manchester, NH 03104-7007.
  • Set-Aside: 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).
  • NAICS Code: 561720 (Cleaning Services), Size Standard: $22.0 million.
  • PSC: S201 (Custodial Janitorial Services).
  • Original Response Date: Extended to April 10, 2026, 12:00 PM EDT (prior to cancellation).
  • Site Visit: A site visit was held on March 27, 2026.
  • Personnel Requirements: Contractor personnel required background investigations (NACI level) for VAMC access.

Reason for No Award

The primary reason for the cancellation was that the pricing yielded by the 100% SDVOSB Set-Aside competition did not result in a reasonable price with respect to available funding. The requested service was not adequately funded to make an award based on the quotes received.

Next Steps

Potential bidders should monitor SAM.gov for any future re-solicitation of this requirement, which may include adjusted funding or scope.
