C223--663-25-900 | Study for HVAC System Improvement, Seattle WA

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA) is seeking a professional architectural and engineering (A/E) firm to conduct a comprehensive HVAC system assessment at the VA Puget Sound Health Care System in Seattle, Washington. The project involves a detailed engineering study of HVAC systems across seven campus buildings, requiring a thorough inspection and evaluation of air handling systems, infrastructure, and associated equipment. Contractors must assess system conditions, identify deficiencies, calculate heating and cooling loads, and provide recommendations for replacements, repairs, and upgrades that comply with VA standards and codes. Evaluation criteria will focus on specialized experience, professional qualifications, capacity, past performance, local knowledge, and commitment to using small businesses as subcontractors. The response deadline is June 16, 2025, at 12:00 PM Pacific Time, with submissions limited to 85 pages of an SF-330 qualifications package.

This contract opportunity is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS Code 541330 for Engineering Services. The project is valued between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, with a 6-month performance period featuring three official deliverable reviews at 35%, 65%, and 95% completion stages. Participating firms must be registered in SAM and the SBA's database, with at least 50% of personnel costs dedicated to SDVOSB employees. The VA will create a "short list" of at least three top-rated firms for potential contract negotiations, though an award is not guaranteed. Contractors must also comply with strict subcontracting limitations, including restrictions on the percentage of contract value that can be subcontracted to non-certified businesses, with potential penalties for non-compliance.
