Introduction In accordance with FAR Companion (FC) 10.001(c), this sources sought notice is for market research and information purposes only and is not to be construed as a solicitation or obligation on the part of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), nor will the VA pay for information requested.

Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC) is conducting a market survey and is seeking potential sources for the Construct New Radiation Oncology Building Minor construction project at the Lexington VA Health Care System (LVAHCS), Franklin R. Sousley Campus.

Project Description The LVAHCS has completed design and is seeking to construct a 14,000 square foot Radiation Oncology Clinic at the Franklin R. Sousley Campus. This facility will be new construction and will include one (1) MR-Linear Accelerator (MR-LINAC), the first of its kind in the VA as well as the state of Kentucky. This project will also include an additional linear accelerator (LINAC) along with one (1) CT Simulator. This project also includes exam and clinic space to include exam rooms, procedure rooms, and required support functions.

Currently the LVAHCS utilizes care in the community to provide radiation therapy treatments to Veterans. The construction of this facility allows the LVAHCS to provide Veterans complex cancer care in one consolidated location. The construction of this facility will also allow the Lexington VA to treat veterans in the VA system from other locations to include Louisville, Cincinnati, and Huntington hospitals.

The industry day presentation slides and requested provisional drawings are being provided with this notice. These drawings are not for bid and are subject to change.
