1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, NCO 6, Hampton VA Medical Center.

Purchase Request# 658-24-1-5071-0001. (Salem VAMC)

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

The Salem VA Medical Center (SVAMC) Engineering Services Boiler Plant has a requirement for Cleaver Brooks Model NB26157 Combustion Analysis and Tuning of the campus boiler.

Services include routine repairs, testing and calibration of the boiler burners, controls, and instruments over the next (5) years. This annual requirement is needed in an effort to maintain pressurized hot water services throughout the SVAMC campus. The estimated value is $142,377.00.

Any substitute agency selected to inspect or calibrate the Model NB26158 Boiler would potentially hinder environmental services ability to provide water treatment for the SVAMC campus and ultimately delay treatment for our veterans.
