4460--TVHS HEPA Filters

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 9, is procuring HEPA filters and filter fan modules for the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. This requirement encompasses approximately 200 individual filter units of varying specifications and sizes, which are critical for preventing airborne illness transmission and maintaining air quality in operating rooms, isolation rooms, dialysis areas, and other healthcare spaces throughout the facility. The solicitation will be issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) on or about January 8, 2026, with quotes due by January 16, 2026 at 12:00 PM Central Time. While the presolicitation notice does not explicitly detail evaluation criteria, vendors should anticipate that award will be based on factors typical for government supply contracts, including price, capability, past performance, and compliance with contractual requirements. The relatively compressed timeline between solicitation release and quote deadline provides potential bidders with eight days to prepare and submit their responses.

This opportunity is 100% set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), limiting competition to qualified businesses meeting this designation. The procurement falls under NAICS Code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) with an SBA size standard of $22 million, and is categorized under PSC 4460 (Air Purification Equipment). The contract requires a 45-day performance period for complete delivery of all filter units to the medical facility located at 1310 24th Avenue South, Nashville, Tennessee 37212. While the presolicitation notice does not specify an anticipated award value or total contract amount, the scope of approximately 200 filter units suggests a material procurement of significant value. No incumbent contractor or current supplier is identified in the presolicitation materials. Interested vendors should monitor the VA's contracting office at 1639 Medical Center Parkway, Suite 204, Murfreesboro, Tennessee 37129, for the formal RFQ release.
