VISN17 Equipment Site Preparation

The Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 (VISN 17) Equipment Site Preparation Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a multiple-award vehicle designed to provide multi-discipline design and construction services for high-tech, high-cost medical equipment site preparation across VA healthcare facilities. The contract, with a total ceiling value of $17 million, enables rapid site readiness for advanced medical technologies, including imaging equipment, radiation therapy systems, and other critical medical infrastructure upgrades. Awarded initially in August 2019, the contract supports VA healthcare systems in Texas and Oklahoma, offering comprehensive "cradle-to-grave" services that encompass incidental design, construction, outfitting, transition, and demolition work.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently focus on preparing medical spaces for advanced equipment installations, with most task orders ranging between $2,000 and $3 million and averaging approximately 180 calendar days in duration. Two primary prime contractors, VF Services LLC and Wichita Falls Tri-Tech, LLC, both service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), have been the predominant award recipients. The majority of task orders are set aside for SDVOSB firms and are issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs, with performance locations primarily spanning VA medical centers in Texas, including facilities in Dallas, Temple, San Antonio, Amarillo, and Big Spring. Recent task orders have included site preparations for digital X-ray rooms, radiology equipment, MRI scanners, and facilities modifications related to specific initiatives like the COVID-19 vaccine mandate (Executive Order 14042).
