How to bid on underground tank services for the Department of Veterans Affairs
What the VA is buying
The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning a request for quote for cleaning, inspection, fuel sampling and testing, restoration, and refueling of nine underground diesel tanks in North Las Vegas, Nevada.
The work is for the VA Palo Alto Health Care System at 6900 North Pecos Road. The notice is a presolicitation, so the final specifications and requirements will be in the solicitation.
Key dates and the deadline
The solicitation, number 36C26127Q0089, is expected to be posted on SAM.gov around October 23, 2026. Quotes are tentatively due November 6, 2026; the exact deadline and time must be confirmed in the solicitation.
A presolicitation notice is not the final request for quotes. Check the posted solicitation for the final requirements, question deadline, and quote deadline.
