The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 is soliciting quotes for the design, fabrication, and installation of two custom enclosed aluminum cargo boxes for Ford F550 truck frames to support laundry transportation services at the Sheridan VA Medical Center. The primary evaluation criteria focus on technical capability and quality to meet the statement of work requirements, alongside pricing considerations, with award to be made on an all-or-nothing basis to the responsive offeror providing the best value. Key contract requirements include submission of two volumes—Volume I demonstrating technical capability and compliance with specifications, and Volume II containing completed pricing schedules—with quotes due by March 31, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Mountain Time via email to Contracting Officer Barron Long. The original question deadline was March 16, 2026; however, the solicitation was extended and the government has indicated that no additional questions will be answered beyond those already posed. Offerors must develop their own design specifications based on customer needs, as no drawings or photos of the requested boxes were provided due to the custom nature of the requirement.

This solicitation carries no set-aside designation and is unrestricted, allowing all qualified contractors to compete. The requirement consists of two custom-built boxes classified under NAICS Code 332999 (All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 750 employees and PSC 8145 (Specialized Shipping and Storage Containers). The statement of work specifies detailed technical requirements including specific dimensions (96" wide, 12.5' long), aluminum construction with composite roll-up rear doors, integrated lift gate systems rated at 1,300 pounds, LED lighting, and a one-year minimum warranty, with an estimated delivery of 120 days after receipt of order on an F.O.B. Destination basis. The place of performance is the Sheridan VA Medical Center located at 1898 Fort Rd, Sheridan, Wyoming 82801, and contractors must maintain an installation facility within 150 miles (2.5 hours travel) of this location.
