About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI · Aug 19, 2025

The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive boiler plant replacement at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in the Bronx, New York. The project involves complete demolition and replacement of existing boiler systems with three new 40,000 lb/hr water tube boilers, along with associated mechanical, electrical, and infrastructure upgrades including emergency generators, deaerators, condensate systems, and building automation controls. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price agreement with a 750-calendar day performance period and requires contractors to maintain steam service during construction using temporary rental boilers. Proposals are due August 27, 2025, at 12:30 PM EST, with a mandatory pre-bid site visit having been conducted on July 28, 2025. The solicitation has undergone multiple amendments through Amendment 0005, with the most recent update on August 19, 2025, providing bid opening meeting information.

This procurement is designated as a 100% set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), with contractors required to be certified in the Small Business Administration database at both bid submission and award. The project value is estimated between $20 million and $50 million, with specific brand-name requirements justified for 14 critical system components from manufacturers including Caterpillar, Schneider Electric, Johnson Controls, and others to ensure system compatibility and operational integrity. The work will be performed at the Bronx VA Medical Center in Bronx, NY 10468, and involves extensive asbestos abatement activities including removal of approximately 1,500 square feet of flooring and 1,200 linear feet of pipe insulation. Contractors must comply with subcontracting limitations restricting no more than 85% of work to non-SDVOSB firms and adhere to prevailing wage requirements under the Davis-Bacon Act. The project requires comprehensive safety protocols, including Project Labor Agreement compliance and separate designated roles for Superintendent, Site Safety and Health Officer, and Quality Control Manager.
