About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI · Oct 8, 2026

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is soliciting competitive proposals to create a three-bed observation unit within the Emergency Department at the Saint Louis VA Medical Center, with proposals due October 26, 2026. The procurement is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), foreclosing competition outside that pool.

Place of performance is Lemay Township, Missouri (Saint Louis VA Medical Center, John Cochran Division, Building 1, Floor 01, 915 North Grand Boulevard). The project involves converting three rooms to observation beds, renovating seven additional rooms for triage and reception, and performing associated mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and medical gas work while the facility remains operational 24 hours daily. The contract is firm-fixed-price with a performance period of 550 calendar days from Notice to Proceed. A deduct alternate (CLIN 0002) reduces the scope by excluding one double door at Room H132, with a 500-calendar-day alternative period. The estimated magnitude is $500,000 to $1,000,000. NAICS code is 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction); PSC is Z2DA (Repair or Alteration of Hospitals and Infirmaries).

Critical requirements include infection control and risk assessment compliance with Class IV containment barriers, negative air pressure systems, and specific ante-room configurations. Work is restricted to non-business hours (before 8:00 AM or after 4:30 PM Monday–Friday) with all construction materials and debris removed by 7:30 AM. The contractor must provide a Critical Path Method schedule within 45 calendar days of Notice to Proceed, as-built drawings in electronic format, a warranty management plan, and operation and maintenance manuals with factory-trained instructor training. Medical gas installations must comply with VA Technical Information Library standards and NFPA 99, with zone valves required to minimize shutdowns. A mandatory site visit was held August 5, 2026, at 10:00 AM CST.

Award will be made using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable source selection. Technical evaluation covers relevant past performance, technical construction experience, key staffing qualifications, subcontractor experience, and contractor safety plan. Original bid bonds (minimum 20% of bid price, not exceeding $3 million) and performance and payment bonds at 100% upon award are required. Offerors must be registered in SAM and VetBiz by the proposal due date. The solicitation has been amended five times; Amendment 0005 (October 8, 2026) incorporated 100 bid documents (full set of drawings). Government responses to RFIs were posted with Amendment 0004 (October 6, 2026); project specifications (Revision 1) were also issued by that date.
