System updates may lag policy updates, so SAM may continue to require representations based on provisions not included in agency solicitations, such as 52.222-25 and paragraph (d) of 52.212-3. Contracting officers will not consider these representations when making award decisions or enforce their requirements. Entities are not required to, nor are they able to, update their SAM registrations to remove these representations.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking a contractor to provide a Brand Name or Equal Boss Salt Spreader for the Salem VA Medical Center in Salem, Virginia (1970 Roanoke Blvd).

The contractor must supply all labor, materials, equipment, and delivery for a base period of performance. No specific budget amount is provided in this pre-solicitation notice. Interested parties should monitor sam.gov for the full solicitation and amendments and direct responses via email only.
