About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office 17 is conducting market research for the El Paso Veterans Affairs Health Care System to procure and install two self-contained UE005 wall-mounted humidifiers in the Pharmacy Cache. The project requires a comprehensive installation service, including electrical, water, and drain connections, as well as integrating the humidifiers with the existing EMS system via bacnet. The VA is specifically seeking vendors who manufacture products in the United States and is particularly interested in responses from Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), and other small business manufacturers or authorized distributors. Interested contractors must submit detailed responses by 9:00 AM Central Time on April 14, 2025, including business information, SAM UID number, NAICS code, business size, and proof of OEM authorization. The evaluation criteria will focus on the ability to provide fair and reasonable pricing, with vendors requested to submit estimated market research pricing to help determine the procurement strategy.

The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside at this time, with the procurement strategy to be determined based on the market research responses. No incumbent contractors are mentioned in the documentation. While no specific award value or budget range is provided, the scope involves installing two humidification units with associated infrastructure connections. The project is located at the El Paso VA Health Care System facility at 5001 N. Piedras Dr., El Paso, Texas, and requires full compliance with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. The VA will carefully evaluate responses to decide whether to pursue a set-aside, sole source, or unrestricted procurement, with the ultimate procurement strategy remaining at the government's discretion. Distributors must provide proof of authorized distribution, and the VA will not accept gray market items.
