Chiller Repair VA Loma Linda Health Care Systems (Cancelled)

The Special Notice (ID: 2cbc6c65171d4832aadeb1e1bf1d3419) concerns a cancelled contract opportunity for chiller repair at the Loma Linda Health Care Systems, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (VA VHA VISN 22). The notice was posted on February 13, 2025, and relates to maintenance and repair of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment within the Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors industry category (NAICS 238220). The original solicitation has been cancelled due to the need for additional line items, with a reference to a new solicitation number 36C26225Q0497. This cancellation suggests that the VA is restructuring the procurement process to better meet their specific requirements for the chiller repair project.

The cancelled contract was originally set aside for total small business participation, indicating an intent to provide opportunities for smaller contractors within the VA procurement ecosystem. The cancellation implies that potential contractors should instead focus on the new solicitation (36C26225Q0497) for future bidding opportunities. Eligible contractors would likely need to be classified as small businesses in the NAICS 238220 category, with specific expertise in refrigeration, air conditioning, and air circulating equipment maintenance and repair. The PSC category J041-P suggests that the project requires specialized skills in maintaining, repairing, and potentially rebuilding complex cooling systems. Contractors interested in this opportunity should carefully review the new solicitation when it becomes available, paying close attention to any updated requirements, technical specifications, and submission guidelines that may differ from the original cancelled notice.
