The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 seeks qualified contractors to design and implement a Campus Energy Management System, specifically a building automation system (BAS) conversion project at the Salisbury Veterans Affairs Medical Center. This solicitation encompasses a comprehensive energy management upgrade including HVAC system modifications, building controls conversion to a Siemens control system platform, and integration across multiple buildings (Buildings 2, 5, and 31). Key contract requirements include contractor responsibility for selecting and hiring third-party testing and commissioning agents, conducting complete field surveys to identify all system components, evaluating existing equipment for reuse compatibility, and providing all necessary replacement devices within the base bid. Contractors must maintain a minimum of three dedicated full-time onsite personnel (Superintendent, Site Safety and Health Officer, and Control Quality Check System Manager with specified qualifications), perform Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB) on all modified HVAC systems, and complete the entire project including submittals, procurement, construction, and commissioning within 365 calendar days. The bid opening deadline has been extended to March 24, 2026 at 1:00 PM EST, and offerors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment prior to submission.

This opportunity is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside. The project is located in Salisbury, North Carolina 28144, and the contractor must coordinate all work with the active medical facility, including after-hours work to prevent disruption to patient care. Contractor responsibilities include providing temporary office space, fencing for laydown areas, supplemental sanitary facilities, implementing ICRA-compliant hard barriers and negative air pressure containment, ensuring all wiring is installed in conduit, and restoring all ceiling systems with matching acoustical materials. The contract timeline is fixed at 365 calendar days from notice to proceed, with the contractor responsible for developing a comprehensive Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule that accounts for VA review periods and actual manufacturer lead times. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the solicitation amendment, though the scope of work across multiple buildings and the comprehensive system integration requirements suggest a substantial contract value.
