Richard Group LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, was awarded a $4.18M firm fixed-price definitive contract by the Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 (a component of the Department of Veterans Affairs) on April 20, 2021, to upgrade, renovate, and relocate approximately 16,200 square feet of Sterile Processing Services space in the basement of Building 100 at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in Houston, Texas. The contract, set aside exclusively for SDVOSBs, requires Richard Group LLC to furnish supervision, labor, materials, tools, and equipment to complete the project by December 12, 2025, with a performance period of 660 calendar days from notice to proceed. As part of the project requirements, the contractor must ensure that at least 15 percent of contract costs are spent on employees of the prime contractor or other eligible SDVOSB concerns.

This award represents a continuation of Richard Group LLC's extensive portfolio of federal construction and healthcare facility renovation work with the VA. The company's specialization in healthcare facility improvements and infrastructure upgrades, combined with its veteran-owned status and established track record across multiple VA medical centers nationwide, positioned it as a qualified contractor for this critical healthcare infrastructure project. The Sterile Processing Services renovation aligns with the VA's broader mission of modernizing and enhancing medical facilities to support patient care and operational efficiency across its healthcare network.
