About this file
This is a Presolicitation Notice and Notice of Intent to Sole Source for emergency fuel tank repair services. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (VISN 10), through the Louis Stokes VA Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, intends to negotiate a sole-source contract with Crazeweld LLC (CW), located at 1563 Johnson Road, Norwalk, Ohio 44857-9769, for inspection and repairs to a leaking fuel tank liner system and tank haul. The work requires all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and supervision necessary to complete the repairs, including onsite fabrication to accommodate custom modifications previously installed on the fuel storage tank. The NAICS code is 811310, and the contracting office is located at 6150 Oak Tree Boulevard, Suite 300, Independence, Ohio 44131 (zip code 44131).
The fuel storage tanks contain site-specific, handmade custom modifications including a port access door, mid-tank saddle, haul modification/fabrication, water extraction system, chemical liner protectant, and inspection ports that were installed by Crazeweld to correct structural integrity, fuel stability, and tank wall longevity issues. The Government asserts that only Crazeweld possesses the proprietary knowledge and expertise necessary to repair these custom systems in their current state and to understand the prior damage conditions. The work is critical to VA emergency preparedness requirements, as failure to repair the fuel tank will compromise backup generator fuel capabilities during emergencies. A firm-fixed-price contract is anticipated. The solicitation is under FAR Part 12 procedures. Responses demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government must be submitted by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on Friday, March 20, 2026, to Christopher A. Callihan, Contracting Officer, at christopher.callihan@va.gov or 216-707-7736.

Notice of Intent to Sole Source Requirement
Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN10, Louis Stokes VA Medical Center, Cleveland, Ohio located at 10701 East Boulevard, Cleveland, Ohio 44106. Intends to negotiate Sole Source for inspection and repairs to leaking fuel tank liner system and tank haul. IAW FAR Part 12 procedures.
The Louis Stokes VA Medical Center, Cleveland, Ohio located at 10701 East Boulevard, Cleveland, Ohio 44106 requires specialized contractor to provide all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and supervision necessary to complete inspection and repairs to leaking fuel tank liner system and tank haul. Work to repair fuel tank liner system will require onsite fabrication to custom made advancements already installed on the fuel storage tank.
The associated NAICS code is 811310 the vendor will be Crazeweld LLC (CW), 1563 Johnson Rd. Norwalk, Ohio 44857-9769, United States
The fuel storage tanks have site specific, custom made, modifications previously installed by VA Engineering.
• port access door, mid-tank saddle, haul modification/fabrication, water extraction system, chemical liner protectant, inspection ports.
These were to correct errors in structural integrity, fuel stability and life span of tank walls.
These alterations have been “handmade” fabricated and installed by an independent local company, Crazeweld Mechanical & Plumbing (CW)
CW being a custom “inhouse” fabricator owns proprietary information on all items created, installed and (now) damaged.
CW has the only knowledge of these systems in their current (lined) state and, more invaluable, the prior damaged state. This information is unattainable by any other source and vital to work requirements needed in this award.
Work is critical to VA requirements for emergency preparedness.
Awarding this work to this Contractor is the most direct and safest way to bring the medical center back to required safety standards required within critical emergency timelines. Failure to repair in a timely manner will result in the inability to perform during emergency situations due to lack of backup generator fuel capabilities.
A firm-fixed-price contract is anticipated and shall be awarded. It is the Government's belief that only the proposed candidate possesses the required capabilities to successfully meet this requirement. It is the Government's intention to solicit and negotiate with only this source.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. It is not a solicitation or request for offers. No solicitation package is available. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Responses must be received no later than 1500 pm (EDT) on Friday, March 20, 2026.
