Source Sought Notice



This notice is issued as preliminary market research regarding Architecture/Engineering (A&E) services under NAICS code 541310 with a size standard of $4.5 Million to design a Linear Accelerator Site Prep for the Radiation Oncology Department within the VA Medical Center located at 50 Irving Street, NW, Washington, DC 20422.



The Government intends to award a firm fixed price contract for A&E services entitled, "Linear Accelerator Site Prep for Radiation Oncology" at the VAMC in Washington, DC. Only firms within 50 mile radius (or with branches within 50 miles) of the Washington, DC VAMC will be considered for award of this contract. The estimated construction price range is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.



The project design will encompass the removal of the existing linear accelerator and the installation of a new Linear Accelerator which will impact adjacent areas and/or circulation because of the size of the vault for the new VARIAN, TrueBeam Edition, Linear Accelerator (Manufacturer's Documents are attached). The space will be designed for one (1) vault that will require concrete walls around the Linear Accelerator equipment and significant shielding quantities with proportional structural elements to meet shielding requirements prescribed by the Radiological Physicist. Concrete partitions may be constructed of high density concrete (or other material) and finished with furred gypsum wallboard. The new lay-out should respect the recent renovation drawings of the Radiation Oncology Department that will be provided from DCVAMC.
