Indianapolis VAMC Construction HVAC Mechanical Northern Tier 2015-2020

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 awarded this Master IDIQ for construction, HVAC, and mechanical work at the Indianapolis VAMC northern tier on May 1, 2015, with ordering closed as of April 30, 2020. This vehicle is no longer active; the last task order was issued August 31, 2020, more than five years ago.

Over its five-year ordering window, the vehicle generated 110 task orders totaling $53.9 million in combined potential value, with $51.3 million (95 percent) obligated. Order volume was steady across 2016–2019 (13–16 orders per year), then dropped sharply in 2020 as the vehicle approached its ordering deadline, leaving minimal activity in its final months.

Task order scope reflects core facility maintenance and renovation: HVAC replacement (steam coils, pneumatic controls, air handling units), mechanical systems (backflow preventers, water heater and valve replacement, medical gas lines), building infrastructure (parking lot renovation and repaving, roof replacement, electrical upgrades), and interior projects (pharmacy renovation, auditorium upgrades, laboratory conversion). Actual orders diverge noticeably from the vehicle title's emphasis on HVAC and mechanics—approximately one-quarter of awarded work involved general construction and building renovation outside core MEP scope.

Robbert Construction, Inc. dominated by order count with 26 awards ($9.5 million combined potential value), followed by Marcorp Construction, LLC and Angels General Construction Inc. at 15 orders each ($3.3 million and $4.9 million respectively). By dollar value, however, Daniels Building Co Inc. led with six orders worth $12.5 million combined potential value, ahead of Robbert Construction at $9.5 million. The top five primes captured 75 percent of combined potential value, with a long tail of eight smaller contractors holding the remainder. Thirteen distinct primes were awarded, indicating a moderately concentrated competitive base.

Nearly all orders funded Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (108 of 110, $53.9 million); two orders worth $3 thousand benefited Veterans Integrated Service Network 12, reflecting the vehicle's regional scope. Approximately 75 percent of orders (82 of 110) were set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, with the remainder (28 orders, 25 percent) open to unrestricted competition. Task orders ranged from minimum guarantee orders of $1,500 placed at vehicle award in May 2015 to mega-orders exceeding $6 million, with typical substantive orders falling in the $200,000 to $3 million ceiling range. Performance occurred at Indianapolis VAMC and subordinate northern-tier VA medical centers in Battle Creek, Michigan; Ann Arbor, Michigan; and Saginaw, Michigan.
