• Price Hold Period: The standard VA price-hold period is 90 calendar days.
• Stored Materials Payment: Payment for materials stored on-site or off-site is at the Contracting Officer's discretion and handled on a case-by-case basis during contract performance.
• Design Team Preclusion: Members of the design team are not permitted to be part of the construction team.
• Set-Aside: The project is a competitive SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business) set-aside. Prime contractors must be certified as such in the SBA database.
• Bonding: Bonding requirements must be met per applicable clauses. Multiple ways exist to provide a bid guarantee. JV under SBA's Mentor-Protégé Program must be approved prior to offer submission.
• Sales Tax: Offerors are responsible for including all state and local sales or use taxes in their offer.
