Description
Grounds maintenance services for Riverside National Cemetery. Purpose of this amendment is to clarify an answer provided by the program office via amendment 0006 and to extend the deadline for proposals to allow offerors additional time to absorb the clarification provided in amendment 0011. The answer to question number 34 in amendment 0006 was not intended to direct an offeror to propose any specific type of certification.
Rather, as PWS 1.8.20 states, "The on-site manager must have a minimum of five (5) years' experience as a direct supervisor of commercial landscape maintenance/installation operations and be accredited by the Landscape Contractors Association, OR EQUIVALENT accreditation program, (e.g., PLANET)."
The deadline for proposals has been extended to 11/16/2026. Also, the NCA Contracting Office has been experiencing technical difficulties publishing to Contract Opportunities. Please reach out to [email protected] if you are missing the base solicitation and amendments 0001 through 0010 and I will provide links/copies.
