About this file
This document is a comprehensive specification volume for a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical center construction project in Jackson, Mississippi. The project involves repurposing approximately 9,593 square feet of existing Physical Therapy/Occupational Therapy space into a new Inventory Management and Distribution (IMD) area. The solicitation is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), with a requirement that at least 15% of contract performance costs be spent on employees from eligible SDVOSB concerns.
The project is a firm fixed-price construction contract with a 540-calendar day performance period, estimated between $2-5 million. The North American Industrial Classification Standard (NAICS) code is 236220, with a small business size standard of $45 million in average annual receipts. The specification volume (Volume 2) contains detailed technical specifications covering multiple divisions including HVAC systems, electrical work, insulation, commissioning, control systems, and other critical building infrastructure components.
