This is a Pre-Bid Request for Information (RFI) document for solicitation 36C25226B0008, addressing the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) project to renovate 58-1 R102 for Supply Chain Management Service. The RFI contains eight inquiries submitted by IMS on February 19, 2026, and March 4, 2026, with clarifications issued through Amendment 0001.

The document also provides specifications and basis of design for contractor-furnished equipment and materials, including Salsbury wood and metal lockers and benches (model references provided with direct product links), a Kawneer Trifab VersaGlaze 451 stationary viewing window with 1/4" tempered clear glazing, and clarification regarding asbestos abatement scope with reference to an asbestos survey document added to RFI attachments to clarify undefined terms such as "paper seam tape."
