This is a Sources Sought Notice for a Non-Recurring Maintenance (NRM) construction project at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System (VAPAHCS) 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 executing critical steam line infrastructure repairs. The existing steam distribution and condensate return systems at the facility are past their end of life and are critically leaking at multiple locations, requiring 100% make-up water to maintain boiler operations. The project scope encompasses two primary objectives: (1) Repairs involving replacement of all steam and condensate equipment, components, and hardware within ten specifically identified steam vaults, drainage of all flooded vaults, and provision of temporary domestic hot water propane heaters to eight buildings during steam shutdowns; and (2) Inspections of the steam and condensate systems. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, tools, equipment, testing, and supervision necessary for project completion.

No solicitation document currently exists, and the Government will not accept unsolicited proposals or reimburse respondents for any information or administrative costs incurred. The project is classified as NAICS Code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) with Classification Code Z1NZ (Maintenance of Other Utilities).
