The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 1, awarded a $12,653.80 firm fixed-price purchase order to American Vet Solutions Inc. on June 21, 2024, for water chemical treatment services at the VA Connecticut Healthcare System's West Haven campus. The contract, designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside, requires the contractor to provide all labor, materials, transportation, and chemical treatment expertise for the Cogen absorber cooling tower to ensure plant operation and efficiency during the cooling season. This award followed a sources sought notice posted in April 2024, which helped the VA determine acquisition strategy and small business participation.
