635 Condensate Return Pump Replacement

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 is soliciting proposals for the removal and replacement of a condensate return pump skid system at the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center. The project involves replacing an existing Skidmore pump located in building 1's sub-basement that is connected to condensate return lines, with contractors required to install a new BACnet-compatible pump skid system. Contractors must verify and validate all project information, evaluate existing structures, and confirm current site conditions, with additional requirements including area preparation, electrical connection checks, pipe size confirmation, and system operation training. Proposals will be evaluated based on past performance, technical proposal, and price, with technical and past performance factors weighted more heavily than price. The original proposal deadline was June 12, 2025, but has been extended through multiple amendments to June 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with a mandatory site visit having been conducted on June 10, 2025.

This solicitation is 100% set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses under NAICS code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) with a small business size standard of $19 million. The contract value is estimated to be between $150,000 and $200,000, with the performance period spanning 45 days from the anticipated start date of June 19, 2025, to August 1, 2025. The work will be performed at the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center located at Oklahoma City, OK 73104, specifically in the sub-basement of building 1 where the existing pump system is housed. Contractors must comply with OSHA, EPA, and environmental regulations, handle waste and debris properly, and adhere to Buy American Act requirements for materials and equipment. The project allows for the condensate tank to be offline for up to 3 days during the replacement process, and no after-hours work is required for completion.
