This is a Sources Sought Notice issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office (NCO) 21 for market research purposes regarding a Non-Recurring Maintenance (NRM) construction project at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System (VAPAHCS) Menlo Park Department. The project, numbered 640A0-26-103, addresses critical deficiencies in the existing steam distribution and condensate return systems, which are past their end of life and experiencing widespread leaks requiring 100% make-up water for boiler operations. The scope includes two primary objectives: (1) Repairs—replacing all steam and condensate equipment, components, and hardware within ten specifically identified steam vaults, draining flooded vaults, and providing temporary domestic hot water propane heaters to eight buildings during steam shutdowns; and (2) Inspections—conducting required assessments of the systems. The classification code is Z1NZ (Maintenance of Other Utilities) under NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), targeting small business contractors.

This notice is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to issue a solicitation or award a contract. The Government will not reimburse respondents for information or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice. No timeline for a formal solicitation, response deadline, or award date is provided in this sources sought announcement, as it represents preliminary market research to identify qualified and interested contractors capable of executing this maintenance project.
