AHU Repairs Alvin C. York VAMC

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 9, seeks refurbishment of nine Air Handling Units at Alvin C. York VA Medical Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, with proposals due September 17, 2026 at 10:00 AM CDT. This is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under NAICS 238220 (special trade construction), classified as a firm-fixed-price purchase order with Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation. Amendment 0003, effective September 10, restricts subcontracting: an SDVOSB prime may not pay more than 75% of the government payment to firms that are not VIP-listed SDVOSBs or VOSBs, excluding material costs.

Place of performance is 3400 Lebanon Pike, Murfreesboro, Tennessee 37129. Work shall be performed during nights and weekends for all AHUs except Building 11, which requires coordination with the Contracting Officer's Representative and facility personnel. The performance period runs from September 16 through December 14, 2026, with work scheduled during approved outage windows (8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays) to maintain patient care operations continuity.

Scope includes inspection, cleaning, coil restoration via biofilm and debris removal using superheated water followed by probiotic sanitization, refurbishment and sealing of floors, walls, and blowers, and testing and commissioning.

Steel reinforcement is required only where compromised floors are found; condensate pans must be re-sloped to comply with ASHRAE 62.1. Contractors must demonstrate minimum five years' experience with AHU refurbishments and provide a ten-year warranty covering all labor and workmanship with 24-hour response time for critical failures.
