DC01--Relocation of Sensitive Equipment in Data Centers - Oracle Health Server Racks (VA-25-00022385)

The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center in Austin is seeking contractors to perform specialized "white glove" relocation services for Oracle Health Forward Deployed Solution Sets (FDSS) server racks across VA Medical Centers nationwide. The Request for Information (RFI) targets contractors capable of executing up to 60 server rack moves annually, with each move potentially involving 1-3 cabinets of sensitive equipment. Key contract requirements include performing moves after normal business hours, typically on weekends, to minimize operational disruption and ensuring 100% network uptime except during pre-planned downtime windows. Contractors must obtain Tier 1 (Low Risk) security clearances and coordinate closely with VA Medical Center Facilities Management Service and Office of Information Technology staff. The RFI response deadline is February 13, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST, with the VA using submitted information to develop its final acquisition strategy and Performance Work Statement.

The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate any specific set-aside designations for small businesses or disadvantaged groups. The anticipated contract structure includes a 12-month base period with four 12-month option periods and a potential 6-month extension, falling under NAICS category 484210 (Used Household and Office Goods Moving) and PSC category DC01 (IT and Telecom - Data Center Support Services). The procurement will cover relocation services for approximately 130 VA medical centers across 23 Veterans Integrated Service Networks, spanning nearly every state, including locations in Puerto Rico and Hawaii. While specific award values are not disclosed, the contract will require contractors to provide all necessary labor, materials, and equipment for complex server rack relocations. The comprehensive scope of work suggests a significant investment in maintaining and modernizing VA data center infrastructure across the United States.
