Introduction Network Contracting Office 20 (NCO20), supporting Boise VA Medical Center, is seeking potential sources for an upcoming requirement for Elevator Maintenance/Repairs/Alterations Services as described in the attached Statement of Work. This notice is a market research tool and has not been set-aside for any small business category, however the notice is issued to determine appropriate set-aside categories. Responses to this notice, in conjunction with other Government market research resources, will be used by the contracting officer to determine the applicable socio-economic set-aside for the procurement.

Failure to respond to this notice will not impact consideration of construction services companies (or joint ventures) which otherwise meet set-aside requirements and submit responses to the follow-up public announcement. Once the appropriate set-aside is determined, a separate public announcement requesting offers/proposals will be publicized on Contract Opportunities in accordance with FAR 36.213-2.

General Project Description and NAICS Synopsis of required services (See attachment for full statement of work): To provide design/build service of an elevator manufacturer to replace the existing freight elevator controller and motor in Building 77. All construction costs shall be included in this contract. Design shall include any surveys, or testing required to provide a complete design and modernization package per ASME 17.1 and VA Elevator Design Manual PG 18-10. Costs for these services shall be included in the proposal. Remove the following items from the elevator system and replace them with new items: controller/ selector, motor, hoist way cabling, door operators, and safety edge. Install new pit lighting to meet ASME 17.1. Rebuild existing traction gearbox or provide option/estimate for AC gearless lifting motor. Rebuild door assemblies and replace worn components as necessary. Update any car cab controls to current standards as required. Install new controller/selectors that are solid state products. Install new emergency rope gripper per ASME 17.1. New controller and motor are to be installed in the existing elevator equipment room. All products are to be energy efficient and up-to-date products currently being produced by the elevator manufacturer. Power to the existing elevator is 208 volt. The new controller/motor shall be powered by same 208 volt power. We do not plan to replace the elevator cab, unless manufacturer’s inspection reveals a safety issue, or a component is necessary to function with upgraded equipment. Work is to include all parts, labor, programming, and miscellaneous supplies required to provide complete functioning elevator unit.

Information Sought The Government requests a letter of interest (or similar document) with responses to the following:

1. State your business name (as it appears in SAM.gov ), office location where these services will be performed from, SAM UEI number, and socio-economic status of the firm (i.e. verified SDVOSB, WOSB, SB, large business).

2. Provide a brief narrative on your company’s experience providing services similar to those described in the attached statement of work.

3. What would be the expected make-up of the company’s team in terms of socio-economic categories and estimated percentage of work to be completed by your company and each subcontractor?

If the procurement is set-aside for any category of small business, generally fifty percent of more of the work would need to be performed by the contractor or a similarly situated subcontractor in terms of percentage of cost. For instance, if set-aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), 50% or more of the contract would need to be performed by verified SDVOSBs—no other small business categories would count towards the percentage. If set-aside for small business, 50% of the contract would be required to be performed by small businesses which would include performance by a verified SDVOSB because they are also a small business. If the procurement is not set-aside and reaches certain dollar thresholds, the Government would negotiate an acceptable subcontracting plan to utilize small business concerns.

4. A brief statement of overall interest in the project and capability of performing the work in conjunction with ongoing projects.

5. Any additional capabilities statements or other documentation that you feel will assist the Government in performing market research and determining the appropriate set-aside.

Submission Instructions Interested parties are requested to submit the requested information not later than July 31, 2024 to Melissa Howard via email to melissa.howard2@va.gov. Please include “36C26024R0102 - Sources Sought Response” in the title of the email. The response burden to this notice is expected to be light; lengthy responses are not expected but no maximum page count is assigned. Please keep responses below 7MB or send multiple emails appending to the email subject “1 of n” as appropriate. Please contact Melissa Howard at the email above with any questions.
