About this opportunity
Network Contracting Office 16 of the Department of Veterans Affairs is procuring on behalf of the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center to remove and replace two operating room chillers in Building 100 under Project 580-23-105, with proposals due December 2, 2026 at 2:00 PM CST. The procurement is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside under Public Law 109-461.
Place of performance is Houston, Texas 77030. The firm-fixed-price construction contract has an estimated magnitude of $1 million to $2 million and a 432-calendar-day period of performance from Notice to Proceed, with performance to begin within 10 calendar days of notice. The SOW file summary instead states 180 calendar days. At least 15 percent of contract personnel costs must be spent on the concern's employees or those of other eligible SDVOSB concerns, and VAAR 852.219-75 limits payments to non-SDVOSB firms to 85% for general construction. The NAICS code is 238220, with a $19 million size standard, and the PSC is Z1DA.
Offerors must submit summaries of their three most recent substantially complete (over 90%) projects, completed within five years, performing interior hospital construction in occupied facilities across multiple phases. Required documents include an SF 1442, an SF 24 bid bond at 20% of bid price or $13 million, whichever is less, proof of VetCert SDVOSB certification, VETS 4212 filing for 2025, Experience Modification Rate, three years of OSHA records, and a 30-hour OSHA-certified superintendent dedicated 100% full-time. The awardee must furnish performance and payment bonds. Work is subject to a Harris County, Texas Davis-Bacon wage determination dated May 18, 2026.
Evaluation uses a past performance-price tradeoff, with past performance significantly more important than price. Volume I (Past Performance) is limited to 15 pages, and Volume II (Price, Solicitation, Offer & Award Documents) has no page limit.
A mandatory site visit is scheduled for November 5, 2026 at 10:00 AM in the Building 100 lobby. Written inquiries go to Lisa.Peace@va.gov by November 10, 2026 at 2:00 PM local time. The notice body describes itself as a pre-solicitation notice and states questions will be accepted only after the solicitation publishes, while the Opportunity Type and attached RFP 36C25626R0130 designate it a solicitation.
