This is an amendment to a combined solicitation/RFQ that cancels solicitation 36C24126Q0136 for UPS Preventive Maintenance services at Bedford VA Medical Center. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 issued this cancellation due to significant changes in the scope of work identified after the initial posting. The solicitation, issued under NAICS code 811210 with a small business size standard of $34.0 million and PSC code J061, was set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). The place of performance is Bedford VA Medical Center, 200 Springs Road, Bedford, MA 01730, with contracting oversight from the VA Medical Center in Providence, Rhode Island (zip code 02908). Contract Specialist Juliette Buchanan (juliette.buchanan@va.gov) serves as the point of contact.

Prior to cancellation, the solicitation had undergone multiple amendments extending the response deadline from January 30, 2026, to January 12, 2026, then to January 26, 2026, and finally to February 16, 2026, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time. A mandatory site visit was scheduled for January 13, 2026, at 9:00 AM at Building 2 Lobby to allow vendors to better understand the requirements. The scope encompassed replacement and preventive maintenance services for multiple APC Symmetra UPS units and associated VRLA batteries located in Buildings 3 and 61 server rooms. The VA notified interested vendors that a revised solicitation incorporating the scope changes would be reposted and encouraged vendors to submit proposals upon its availability.
