This is a Request for Expressions of Interest and Sources Sought Notice for an Enhanced-Use Lease (EUL) development opportunity at the Lyons VA Medical Center (VAMC) in Lyons, New Jersey, operated by the VA New Jersey Healthcare System within Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 (VISN 2). The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting market research to identify responsible and qualified entities interested in redeveloping assets at this facility and to explore potential reuse options. The Government will use responses to determine whether the development opportunity can be structured as competitive, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside, or a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) set-aside. VA is particularly interested in SDVOSB and VOSB respondents' capabilities to perform a minimum of 51% of the development opportunity.

This is a pre-solicitation notice, not a formal solicitation or request for proposals, and respondents should be advised that the Government assumes no responsibility to award an EUL based on responses. Interested parties must submit specific information as requested in Section V of the Notice and identify their small business status. The information gathered will inform the Government's acquisition strategy decisions and related asset management planning. Respondents should note that participation in this market research does not guarantee qualification for any subsequent contracting opportunity. The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) is Sharon Sirotnak.
