This is an amendment to a previous combined solicitation extending the response deadline and adding facility locations for a 5-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (VISN 1) is seeking environmental monitoring, testing, and certification services for primary engineering controls (PECs) and sterile clean rooms used in pharmacy compounded sterile preparation (CSP) areas across eight VA medical centers. The solicitation is designated as a 100% Small Business set-aside with NAICS code 541380 and FSC/PSC code H266, with a small business size standard of $19.0 million. The revised response deadline is April 29, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time, with responses submitted to the VA Connecticut contracting office in West Haven, Connecticut (06516).

Required services include semi-annual room certifications covering viable and non-viable sampling, air exchanges, and HEPA leak testing for non-hazardous, hazardous, and ante/buffer room classifications. Pricing must be submitted on a per-item basis rather than per-facility pricing, as individual facilities require different combinations of services. The eight facility locations covered include VAMCs in Togus (ME), West Haven and Newington (CT), Providence (RI), Northampton (MA), Brockton, Jamaica Plain, and West Roxbury (MA), Bedford (MA), Manchester (NH), and White River Junction (VT). This solicitation was issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ) and constitutes a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial products and services in accordance with FAR subpart 12.202.
