Z2AA - Telecommunication Infrastructure Contract - Base + 4 (One Year) Options

The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Construction and Facilities Management issued Solicitation 36C10F24R0002 for a comprehensive Telecommunications Infrastructure Contract to provide telecommunication and data drops work across properties in Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. The solicitation seeks a single award Firm-Fixed-Price contract with a base year and up to four one-year option periods, requiring contractors to provide all supervision, labor, materials, tools, transportation, and equipment necessary to accomplish the work. The procurement falls under NAICS code 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors) with a size standard of $19.0 million, and contractors must provide a 25-year system performance warranty. The evaluation criteria allow for commercial experience in project examples, though at least one project should be government-related, and offerors must demonstrate three years of overall experience providing telecommunication services in a government environment. The original proposal deadline of July 5, 2024, was extended through Amendment 0001 to July 12, 2024, at 1:00 PM CST, with Amendment 0002 providing additional clarifications through questions and answers.

This procurement is designated as a 100% set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), and the contract was ultimately awarded to 3Links Technologies, Inc. of Silver Spring, Maryland, with a total award value of $1,848,640.00. The work will be performed at various VA facilities across the multi-state region, with the majority of work falling under the Davis-Bacon Act wage requirements, though some Service Contract Act provisions may also apply. The solicitation includes extensive wage determination documentation covering multiple jurisdictions including Washington D.C., various counties in Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia, reflecting the broad geographic scope of the contract performance locations. Past performance evaluations must come from the prime offeror rather than subcontractors, and resumes are required for all proposed personnel. The contract structure eliminates bond or offer guarantee requirements, and joint venture proposals are acceptable under the solicitation terms.
