This RFI response relates to solicitation 36C24226B0053 for clinic renovations at the Batavia, NY VA Medical Center, a project with a magnitude between $250,000 and $500,000. The renovation project is designated as a 100% set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) firms under NAICS Code 236220. The scope includes replacing walls, millwork, flooring, finishes, and ceilings in the ground floor clinical areas. The project poses unique operational challenges as the clinic must remain functional during renovations, requiring infection control protocols, safety measures, and noise mitigation, with some work scheduled during night hours and weekends to minimize impact on patient care. The anticipated contract award is scheduled for May 2026.
