About this file

This document includes a technical specification for general-duty valves for a plumbing project and the corresponding federal contract opportunity solicitation. The technical specification outlines requirements for valves to be used for domestic water and sewer systems at a new parking garage being constructed for the Department of Veterans Affairs in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Valve types addressed include gate valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, and check valves. The specification also provides instructions for valve delivery, storage, handling, examination, installation and adjustment.

The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation for the construction of the parking garage project at the Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center. The project scope includes providing all labor, materials and equipment to build a new 435-space parking structure according to the drawings and specifications. The solicitation is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and utilizes a tiered evaluation process. The magnitude of the project value is between $10-20 million.
