The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), VISN 15 Network Contracting Office, is seeking sources that can provide the following:

The aim of this project is to provide comprehensive design services for interior signage and wayfinding systems across specific areas of the Robert J. Dole VAMC campus. This includes the creation, programming, manufacturing, and installation of various sign systems as needed. The contractor must possess extensive experience in wayfinding design and the development and implementation of signage for substantial healthcare facilities.

Given the undetermined quantities of each type of signage needed at present, the VHA Network Contracting Office aims to establish single phase service contract. This will facilitate the efficient communication of signage needs, streamlining the acquisition process, and ensuring a consistent and cohesive signage system for the existing building that are not areas in construction.

The requirement encompasses healthcare signage, providing graphics and wayfinding design service, removal of the existing signage, procurement of signage, and installation of new signage. A Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) or Point of Contact (POC) will be designated at the ordering level to oversee the work.

The contractor shall provide all necessary labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and supervision to fulfill the needs of each order to satisfy the contract requirement, ensuring that all relevant safety and regulatory standards are met. This single phase approach addresses the VA’s priorities and renovations, ensuring that the signage system remains effective and compliant over time.

All work must comply with Federal and Department of Veterans Affairs regulations, including but not limited to ABA, NFPA, and VA Technical Information Library (TIL) standards. Interior signage must match function and match the finishes and sizes currently approved, designed, and installed by the VA to ensure a cohesive, consistent, and interchangeable signage system/ wayfinding system.

It is the responsibility of the interested source to demonstrate to the government that the interested parties can provide the supplies/services that fulfill the brand name.
