The Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 awarded a $125,153.57 firm fixed-price purchase order to Barque Consulting, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business headquartered in Fort Pierce, Florida, for the replacement of two steam condensate pumps at the Washington DC VA Medical Center. The contract, awarded on February 2, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of February 1, 2027, requires the contractor to furnish all labor, supervision, materials, tools, equipment, and services necessary to remove the existing pedestal-style pumps (designated P-1 and P-2) and install new units, including all associated mechanical, electrical, and piping modifications. The original solicitation, posted January 5, 2026, emphasized the importance of technical ability, past performance, and price as equally weighted evaluation factors, with mandatory requirements including a current Washington DC contractor license and OSHA 30 Training or OSHA 10 Certification.

Barque Consulting's selection reflects the contractor's established expertise in critical infrastructure maintenance for VA healthcare facilities. The company has developed substantial experience in boiler plant maintenance, inspection, and repair services across multiple VISNs nationwide, with a contract portfolio totaling several million dollars in federal awards. This procurement represents a discrete scope of work typical of the firm's service delivery model, leveraging its technical qualifications and demonstrated past performance supporting VA mission-critical facility operations. The contract carries no set-aside designation beyond the contractor's SDVOSB status, and work will be performed at the Washington DC VA Medical Center located at 50 Irving Street NW.
