The VA needs a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business to wash windows and clean the exterior canopy at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston, SC.
Key Details
- What exactly do they need? The VA needs a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business to wash windows and clean the exterior canopy at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston, SC. The scope includes all exterior windows (roughly 550) and the main entrance canopy (approximately 3,400 sqft).
- What's the contract structure and timeline? The contract is a firm-fixed-price contract with a 60-day execution period. The VA will provide a Price Cost Schedule Template and Past Performance Template, but these attachments are not available online.
- How will they pick the winner? The VA will evaluate proposals based on the lowest price technically acceptable.
- When and how do you bid? Proposals are due on July 20, 2026, and must be submitted through SAM.gov.
Who can apply
- Must be a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)
Heads up — easy to miss
- The VA cannot provide dedicated staging space, and any activities that fully block the main entrance should be planned for after-hours work and coordinated with the COR.
- The VA will not provide dedicated, unrestricted access to on-site water spigots and electrical hookups for the contractor's pressure washers and equipment.
- The VA will permit the exclusive use of high-reach aerial boom lifts for areas that require scaffolding, but physical scaffolding is mandatory for specific wings.
If you're interested, do this first
- Check that your Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business certification is still active in SAM.gov.
- Review the solicitation and attachments carefully to ensure you understand the scope and requirements.
- Plan to truck in independent water and power utilities, as the VA cannot guarantee access to on-site water spigots and electrical hookups.
