Z1DA--NEW: Comprehensive Roof Maintenance and Repair | 549
VETERANS AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF.VETERANS AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF.257-NETWORK CONTRACT OFFICE 17 (36C257) · Response deadline: Wed, 28 Oct 2026
What the government is buying
The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking comprehensive roof maintenance and repair services at the Dallas VA Medical Center. This is a facilities maintenance and construction contract covering roofing work, which typically includes routine inspections, preventive maintenance, leak repairs, membrane replacement, flashing repairs, gutter work, and emergency response for roof-related issues on VA-owned buildings. Roofing contractors in this space generally need experience with commercial-grade roofing systems common to large healthcare campuses—such as built-up roofing (BUR), modified bitumen, TPO, EPDM, or metal roofing systems—given the critical need to protect patient care areas and medical equipment from water intrusion.

Who can bid
This opportunity is exclusively reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) that meet the size standard for NAICS 238160. To qualify, your business must:
- Be at least 51% unconditionally owned and controlled by one or more service-disabled veterans
- Have one or more service-disabled veterans manage day-to-day operations and make long-term decisions
- Qualify as small under the SBA size standard for roofing contractors (see the solicitation for the specific employee or revenue threshold)
- Be certified in SAM.gov as an SDVOSB and have an active status in the Vets First Verification Program
If you're a non-SDVOSB small business, joint venture partner, or subcontractor, you cannot bid as the prime contractor. However, SDVOSB primes may use subcontractors—see the solicitation for any subcontracting limitations.
How to put together a competitive bid
Verify your eligibility first. Confirm your Vets First Verification and SAM.gov SDVOSB status are current and won't expire before award. VA contracting officers typically verify this rigorously.
Understand the scope. Review the full solicitation for specific building types, roof square footage, height access requirements, and whether the work covers a single facility or multiple structures on the Dallas campus. Look for whether the VA wants a firm fixed-price task order arrangement or indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity structure.
Demonstrate healthcare or government roofing experience. VA facilities have unique requirements: maintaining operations during repairs (no noise during patient hours), infection control protocols, safety around vulnerable populations, and compliance with VA safety standards. Highlight comparable federal, state, or hospital roofing contracts. Include your OSHA 10/30 certifications, EMR rates, and any ISNetworld or similar vetting platform memberships.
Address bonding and insurance. Roofing work at federal medical centers typically requires performance and payment bonds. See the solicitation for required bond percentages and insurance minimums—commercial general liability and workers' compensation are standard, with possible pollution coverage for coating or solvent applications.
Price strategically. Government roofing contracts often evaluate on lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) basis. Ensure your material costs, labor rates for Dallas market, equipment, and overhead are current. Factor in Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements if specified.
Next steps
Read the full solicitation on SAM.gov using solicitation number 36C25727Q0022 or classification code Z1DA. Review all attachments, particularly the statement of work, evaluation criteria, and any site visit or pre-bid conference dates. Note the firm deadline of October 28, 2026, at 3:00 PM Central Time—late submissions are not accepted. Consider visiting the Dallas VA campus if a site inspection is offered, as roof access conditions and existing system documentation will strengthen your technical proposal.
