This document is a Pre-Solicitation Amendment for a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) construction project to renovate the Primary Care Department at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center in Ohio. The project, valued between $10-$20 million, is a 100% set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS code 236220, with a small business size standard of $45 million. The renovation will cover approximately 19,084 square feet, involving architectural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work to implement Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) concepts, including new corridors, teamwork areas, exam rooms, lobby, and reception area.

Key project details include a 910-calendar day performance period, with solicitation documents expected to be posted on SAM.gov on April 15, 2025, and bids due approximately 30 days later. The project requires SDVOSB contractors to perform a minimum of 85% of construction work, and will involve critical infrastructure improvements such as upgrading security systems, adding redundant chillers, installing two elevators, and implementing infection control measures. Prospective bidders must be registered and verified on veterans.certify.sba.gov and SAM.gov, and a mandatory one-time site visit will be scheduled. A bid bond and performance/payment bonds are required, and all questions should be submitted via email to the Contract Specialist, Jeremy Nee.
