Questions Due By: October 18, 2024, no later than 12:00 p.m., EDT Local Time The State of Maryland and the Maryland Department of Veterans and Military Families (DVMF) are honored to offer our veterans, National Guard, Reservists and their eligible dependents a final resting place at one of five state veterans cemeteries located throughout Maryland. Since 1978 more than 28,000 Maryland veterans and their eligible dependents have chosen Crownsville State Veterans Cemetery, as their final resting place. The Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) National Cemetery Administration maintains 156 national cemeteries in 42 states and Puerto Rico as well as 34 soldiers' lots and monument sites. More than four (4) million Americans, including Veterans of every war and conflict, are buried in the VA's national cemeteries. The VA also provides funding to establish, expand, improve, and maintain 119 State Veterans cemeteries in 48 states and territories including tribal trust lands, Guam, and Saipan. The VA's National Cemetery Administration (NCA) ensures that national cemeteries serve as dignified and respectful settings. Each Cemetery is to be an expression of appreciation and respect of a grateful nation for the service and sacrifice of her veterans. Furthermore, each National Cemetery is to be maintained as a National Shrine. A National Shrine is defined by the VA "as a place of honor, and memory that declares to the visitor or family member who views it that within its majestic setting, each and every veteran may find a sense of serenity, of historic sacrifice, and nobility of purpose." The Department of Veterans & Military Families is soliciting bids for a Licensed and Insured Contractor to replace the roof and rot repair on the lower maintenance building, located at Crownsville Veterans Cemetery.
