The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 (VA VISN 9) awarded a $946,336.66 firm fixed-price definitive contract to Semper TEK Inc. on May 20, 2024, for site security improvements at the Franklin R. Sousley VA Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky. The project encompasses demolition and removal of existing structures to prepare the site for building operations, with work to be completed in accordance with project drawings, specifications, and the statement of work. This contract is designated as a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside and was awarded under NAICS code 236220 for commercial and institutional building construction. The ultimate completion date is December 31, 2025, with a recent modification (MOD P4) extending the period of performance by 59 calendar days to May 5, 2025, to accommodate weather delays.
Semper TEK Inc., a Kentucky-based SDVOSB headquartered in Lexington, is well-positioned to execute this work given its extensive experience in federal construction and infrastructure projects across multiple agencies including the VA, U.S. Air Force, and General Services Administration. The company holds several significant indefinite delivery vehicle contracts, including a $45 million VA VISN 9 multiple-award construction IDIQ for VA medical center projects, which likely served as the vehicle under which this award was made. Semper TEK's portfolio demonstrates substantial capability in facility improvements, renovation, and specialized infrastructure work for federal healthcare and military installations.
