About this file
This document outlines testing laboratory services requirements for a construction project and the related federal contract opportunity notice. The construction project involves repairing exterior deficiencies at a Department of Veterans Affairs medical center building and requires materials testing and inspection services during construction. Services include testing of mortar, grout, and masonry units according to ASTM standards. The federal contract is a design-build opportunity with a estimated value between $3-5 million to be awarded as a small business set-aside. The solicitation will be issued in March 2020 with a 450-day period of performance. Questions must be submitted in writing by the deadline to the email address provided.
