The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration is seeking Architect/Engineer (A/E) design services for the Renovate Behavioral Health Phase 3 project at Harry S Truman Veterans' Memorial Hospital in Columbia, Missouri. The A/E firm must deliver comprehensive design and construction documentation for a 15,000-square-foot behavioral health clinic renovation, including advance planning, schematic design, design development, construction documents, and construction period services. Qualified firms must include licensed specialists in architecture, medical planning, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, fire protection engineering, life safety, plumbing, interior design, communications, electrical engineering, and cost estimation, with a requirement to contract an independent third-party fire protection engineer for life safety reviews. Selection will be based on nine equally-weighted evaluation criteria: professional qualifications, specialized experience, capacity to accomplish work, past performance on similar projects, geographic proximity (with a 450-mile preference), claims and terminations history, reputation, construction period services experience, and local knowledge. The deadline for submitting SF 330 qualification packages is May 1, 2026, at 2:00 PM CDT, with submissions directed to jeanette.mathena@va.gov and kelsey.eagle@va.gov.

This procurement is a 100 percent set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) firms verified in the SAM database, with no current incumbent identified. The construction project budget ranges from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000, and the A/E must design within this cost limitation while ensuring the facility is standalone with no follow-on projects required. The design phase must be completed within 365 calendar days of the Notice to Proceed, with contract award anticipated no later than July 2026 under a Firm Fixed Price structure. Design deliverables include three distinct schematic layouts, 35% design development submissions, 60% and 90% construction documents, and 100% final bid documents, with all electronic submissions not exceeding 10 MB in file size. The A/E firm must demonstrate the capacity to respond to on-site issues within 8 hours and participate in weekly meetings with the Integrated Project Team.
