VA RFI RESPONSE THRU April 28, 2026

RFI #1: Can you verify the current due date? May 22nd and May 28th are listed in a few locations within the sam.gov/related RLP documents.

VA Response: The RLP due date is May 28,2026. Please refer to the updated RLP attached to this amendment as it will serve as the RLP document going forward.

RFI #2: Please confirm that the correct solicitation number(s) and exhibits are being noted on page 20, under Factor 1 Building, Architectural and Design Concept.

VA Response: The RLP document has been revised to reflect the correct RLP and Exhibit reference. The revised RLP is attached to this amendment.

RFI #3: Would the Government consider extending the Past Performance recency requirement from three (3) years to ten (10) years, or alternatively allowing the inclusion of highly relevant projects outside the three (3) year window for consideration? As currently written in Factor 4 Submission Instructions (Page 23), Projects must have been completed during the past three (3) years by the offering entity. For specialized healthcare development and construction projects such as VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinics project delivery timelines often span multiple years from design through completion. Expanding the recency window, or allowing consideration of older but highly relevant projects, would enhance the Government s ability to evaluate experience on comparable medical facilities and reduce performance risk by ensuring that offerors can demonstrate meaningful, directly relevant past performance.
VA Response: The Government will retain the three-year recency requirement as written and does not intend to amend the RLP.
However, all offerors are encouraged to submit all relevant past performance information they believe appropriately represents their capabilities, consistent with the holistic review structure already established under Factor 4.
As stated in the RLP, in cases where recent past performance is limited or unavailable, an offeror:
may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably
This allows the Government to consider past performance in context, without penalizing offerors lacking projects completed within the past three years.
These clarifications are issued for all interested offerors and do not amend the terms of the solicitation.
