Annual Backflow Valve Testing, Maintenance & Compliance

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 is seeking a qualified contractor to provide annual testing, maintenance, and compliance services for backflow prevention assemblies at the VA Southern Oregon Rehabilitation Center & Clinics in White City, Oregon. The contractor must be state-approved and currently certified as a Backflow Assembly Tester (BAT) with valid differential pressure gauge calibration within the last 12 months, and must demonstrate compliance with Medford Water Commission regulations, Oregon Administrative Rules 333-061, Veterans Health Administration Directive 1061, and VA Plumbing Design Manual standards. Key requirements include comprehensive inventory verification of all assemblies, annual testing using Oregon Health Authority-approved methods, corrective maintenance and repairs for failed units using manufacturer-approved OEM parts, installation compliance review, and complete documentation and reporting to both VA and the Medford Water Commission. Responders must provide proof of state approval, their SAM Unique Entity ID number, and a detailed description of their technical solution to meet the requirements. The deadline for proposal submission is April 7, 2026.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and involves testing and maintenance of 93 backflow prevention assemblies across the VA facility campus, including Double Check Valve Assemblies, Reduced Pressure Principle Assemblies, and Pressure Vacuum Breakers/Spill Resistant Vacuum Breakers. The contractor must also furnish and commission a Mojave Monitor dry vacuum system or equivalent as part of the deliverables. All services must be performed during VA business hours (8 AM to 4:30 PM), with contractor personnel required to check in at FMS Building 229, wear VA identification badges, and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. The contractor bears responsibility for worker's compensation, professional liability insurance, and income tax withholding for personnel, with invoices submitted in arrears and including itemized charges, service dates, contract number, and waste disposal information if applicable. While no specific award value is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the comprehensive scope of work across 93 assemblies with testing, maintenance, repairs, and equipment procurement suggests a substantial contract value.
