7230--Women's Clinic Window Treatments Minneapolis VA Health Care System

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 is soliciting custom window treatments for the Women's Clinic at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, including roller shades, vertical blinds, and motorized shade options with specific technical specifications for blackout fabrics and anti-glare properties. This is Amendment 3 (Solicitation Number 36C26326Q0380_0003) to the original solicitation, addressing vendor questions regarding motorized shade electrical specifications, window sizing constraints, and manufacturer warranty concerns for non-standard width-to-height ratios. Key requirements include precise measurements per the attached architectural floor plans, coordination with existing VA building systems, adherence to healthcare facility durability and maintenance standards, and detailed product specifications with installation plans. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of all three amendments (March 30, March 31, and April 7, 2026) by signing and returning documentation to robert.bennett8@va.gov to remain eligible for consideration. The deadline for submission of quotes is April 10, 2026, at 4:00 PM CDT, and all responses must include field verification of tight clearance constraints, particularly in Patient Corridor 80-C1-02 where frame depth is limited to 3.75 inches.

This solicitation is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, limiting competition to qualified firms within this category. The place of performance is Minneapolis, Minnesota 55417, and the work involves installation of window treatments across multiple clinic spaces within the Women's Clinic facility. The procurement is classified under NAICS 337920 (Blind and Shade Manufacturing) and PSC 7230 (Draperies, Awnings, and Shades), indicating a specialized goods procurement through the GSA Schedule-based process. While no specific award value or contract timeline is provided in the amendment, the solicitation emphasizes strict adherence to VA infrastructure compatibility requirements and healthcare environment standards. Vendors must coordinate with existing VA building systems and provide comprehensive installation and quality assurance protocols as part of their proposal submission.
