36C255-26-AP-0662 CAT6a Cable Pull - KC VAMC

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is seeking qualified sources for Cat6a Ethernet cable installation services at the Kansas City VA Medical Center. The work encompasses cable installation, termination, testing, certification, and demolition of existing cables in high-criticality hospital areas including Operating Rooms, Intensive Care Units, and Inpatient Areas. Contractors must comply with strict hospital infection control and fire safety policies, perform Pre-Construction Risk Assessments, and ensure all materials are compatible with the Federal Electronic Health Record (FEHR) project while maintaining minimal disruption to hospital operations. Key requirements include adherence to hospital policies, monthly cable installations, monthly and annual progress reporting, and proper cable management in sensitive clinical environments. Responses to this Sources Sought Notice must be submitted by December 11, 2025 at 11:00 AM Central Time, though this is a market research notice rather than a formal solicitation.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) entities under NAICS code 517111 (Wired Telecommunications Carriers) as a sole source award. The project spans a five-year period with staggered cable installation requirements: 250 Cat6a cables in the first year followed by 125 cables in each of the four subsequent years, totaling approximately 800 cables over the contract period. The Sources Sought Notice does not identify any current incumbents or incumbent contractors. While specific award values are not disclosed in this market research phase, the substantial scope of work involving monthly installations across multiple years in a major medical facility indicates a significant contract opportunity. This notice represents the preliminary phase before formal solicitation and allows the VA to assess market availability of qualified SDVOSB contractors capable of executing this specialized healthcare infrastructure project.
