About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 is soliciting quotes for one-time heater bundle replacement in Boiler Plant One at Rocky Mountain Regional VAMC, with the quote deadline extended to August 6, 2026 at 2:00 PM MT. This is a total small business set-aside.

Place of performance is the Eastern Colorado VA Healthcare System facility at 1700 N Wheeling Street, Aurora, Colorado 80045. Work must be completed within 90 days of contract award, Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, with scheduling coordinated at least two weeks in advance.

The scope requires replacement of tube bundles on three Aquaplex domestic hot water heaters (Model 150L5A-ISD, Serial No. 1214139097), replacement of three control valves with like-in-kind Siemans MVF461H50-30 and MVF461H32-12 flanged models (DN50 and DN32 sizes), and installation of three secondary steam isolation valves. Replacement valves must match existing flanged connections consistent with NPT sizes listed in the price schedule. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, supplies, tools, equipment, transportation, and qualified personnel; demonstrate previous experience with Aquaplex tube bundle and control valve removal and commissioning; maintain personal liability and property damage insurance; and ensure employees complete VA records management training.

The NAICS code is 333310, Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing, with a 1,000-employee small business size standard. The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price contract on an all-or-nothing basis. Evaluation criteria are technical capability and price. Quotes must be submitted via email only (4 MB limit) to jesse.sannicolas@va.gov and christopher.hollingsworth2@va.gov, completed in entirety and signed. The question deadline was July 28, 2026 at 12:00 PM. A site visit cannot be accommodated; the government provided photographs showing tube-bundle removal clearance, control-valve arrangement, and proposed isolation valve locations to support pricing.

Update #2 · Latest ·

The purpose of this amendment is to answer questions that were received (see below) and to extend the response date and time to 2:00pm MT 8/6/2026

  1. The price schedule identifies 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch NPT control valves, while the SOW identifies existing Siemens MVF461H50-30 and MVF461H32-12 valves, which are flanged DN50 and DN32 models. Please confirm whether the replacement valves must match the existing sizes and connections or the NPT sizes listed in the price schedule. If the valves are to be resized for the current load, please provide the applicable steam pressure, temperature, flow, and load data.
  1. The replacement valves must be like-in-kind with the existing Siemens MVF461H50-30 and MVF461H32-12 valves — matching the existing flanged DN50 and DN32 sizes and connections, consistent with the NPT sizes listed in the price schedule.
  1. The SOW does not identify a site-visit opportunity, and a prospective mechanical contractor has requested a walkthrough to verify existing conditions for pricing. Please confirm whether the VA can accommodate a site visit. If a site visit cannot be scheduled, please provide any available photographs or drawings showing the tube-bundle removal clearance, existing control-valve arrangement, and proposed locations for the three secondary steam isolation valves.

A site visit cannot be conducted at this time. In lieu of an in‑person assessment, I have attached photographs that capture the requested information.
