Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 awarded a $20.3 million definitive contract to Pipe Line Utility Contractors, LLC for steam distribution system upgrade at the Alvin C York VA Medical Center on September 28, 2026, under a service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-aside.
The originating pre-solicitation, posted February 10, 2026, seeks demolition and new construction of the steam distribution system, encompassing general construction, civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, low voltage, and industrial hygiene work. The contractor must furnish all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision. Key requirements prohibit clamp-on saddles and ductile/cast-iron materials and require installation of 30 additional analog pressure gauges at contracting officer–coordinated locations. Steam shutdowns are mandatory when outside temperatures fall below 58 degrees Fahrenheit. All work and materials are warranted for one year unless otherwise specified.
Place of performance is Nashville, TN 37212. The period of performance is 546 calendar days with an ultimate completion date of March 27, 2028. Performance is scheduled Monday through Thursday, 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., though night and weekend work is permitted with prior VA approval to minimize disruption to medical center operations. The procurement was designated for competitive negotiation under FAR Part 15.
