This is a Sources Sought Notice for a Non-Recurring Maintenance (NRM) construction project at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System's Menlo Park Department. The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office (NCO) 21 is conducting market research to identify qualified small business contractors capable of correcting critical steam line deficiencies. The existing steam distribution and condensate return systems at the facility are past their end of life and are experiencing severe leaks at multiple locations, requiring 100% make-up water to maintain boiler operations. The project requires two primary objectives: (1) Repairs involving replacement of all steam and condensate equipment, components, and hardware within ten specifically identified steam vaults, drainage of flooded vaults, and provision of temporary domestic hot water propane heaters to eight buildings during steam shutdowns; and (2) Inspections of the systems to identify additional deficiencies. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, tools, equipment, testing, and supervision necessary to complete the work. This is a pre-solicitation notice issued solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a commitment to issue a formal solicitation or contract. The Government will not reimburse responders for information or administrative costs incurred in responding to this notice. The project is classified under NAICS Code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and Classification Code Z1NZ (Maintenance of Other Utilities).
