Amendment 2 to Solicitation 36C24226Q0642

This is an Amendment of Solicitation issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office (NCO) in Buffalo, NY on June 24, 2026. The amendment extends the offer receipt deadline to July 13, 2026 at 4:00 PM EDT and provides responses to vendor questions submitted during a June 23 site visit regarding chiller and cooling tower water treatment services. The solicitation scope is limited to water treatment services only and does not include maintenance or repair of the chillers and cooling towers themselves.

Key clarifications from the vendor Q&A include: three 400-ton electric chillers operate simultaneously with one 400-ton steam absorption chiller that remains inactive; VA performs no in-house testing; chemical usage timing is at vendor discretion; vendors must inspect and maintain all feeding equipment they provide or sell; VA owns chemical storage containers but vendors will use their own equipment; dual biocides are required at vendor discretion; legionella sampling occurs up to four times annually; the chilled loop is included in the solicitation despite unknown annual loss data; VA maintains the water management plan; and the plumbing to the chillers is VA property. Vendors are not required to perform pesticide treatment, conduct maintenance work on chiller heads, or provide a water management plan.
