The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 is preparing to issue an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a medical air compressor replacement project at the Pittsburgh VA Medical Center. The contract will require comprehensive demolition and installation services, specifically replacing two medical air compressor systems at two locations within the University Drive Medical Center. Contractors must be Certified ASSE 6010 medical gas installers capable of performing potentially complex installation work that may require off-hours and weekend operations to minimize medical air system disruption. The anticipated solicitation will be issued around May 20th, 2025, with a mandatory site visit scheduled for 1:00 PM on May 28th, 2025. Potential bidders must carefully review the technical specifications for the new NFPA99 AMICO Tri-Plex medical air systems and prepare detailed installation plans.

The contract is specifically set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) contractors, with a project magnitude estimated between $500,000 and $1,000,000. The total period of performance is 180 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, indicating a significant but time-limited engagement. The procurement falls under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) category 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of Y1DA for Construction of Hospitals and Infirmaries. Bidders will need to demonstrate precise technical capabilities, including the ability to remove existing medical air compressors, storage tanks, and dryers, and replace them with new systems that meet stringent medical facility standards. The contract's due date is set for May 19th, 2025, requiring interested contractors to carefully prepare their submissions within the specified timeframe.
