Facility Wide Asbestos Survey and Asbestos Management Plan | Wilmington VAMC

Veterans Integrated Service Network 4, Department of Veterans Affairs, is seeking sources for a facility-wide asbestos baseline survey and asbestos management plan at Wilmington VA Medical Center, with responses due August 13, 2026. This is a sources sought notice; no set-aside is anticipated.

Work is performed at Wilmington VA Medical Center, Wilmington, Delaware, across nine buildings including the main hospital, clinical education and administrative facilities, warehouse, boiler plant, operations and maintenance shops, gymnasium, IT building, and community living center. The scope encompasses interior and exterior accessible areas including crawlspaces, tunnels, roofs, and plenums to identify, inspect, sample, and test all suspected asbestos-containing materials.

Contractor personnel must hold EPA-AHERA Asbestos Building Inspector and Asbestos Management Planner certifications, plus State of Delaware licenses. All employees must obtain ICRA 8-hour certification and medical clearance including fit-testing within six months. Bulk sampling must comply with EPA, OSHA, AHERA, and NESHAPS protocols using EPA-accredited laboratories with NIST/NVLAP accreditation. Samples equal to or above trace quantities must be reported as positive-asbestos containing material; samples containing 10 percent or less asbestos require point counting analysis.

Deliverables include comprehensive reports separated by building, completed within two weeks of field work, containing detailed asbestos inventories, tabular listings, annotated CAD drawings, sample locations, laboratory results, risk assessments, remediation cost estimates, and an operations and maintenance plan. Reports must be reviewed and certified by a Management Planner, EPA-certified Building Inspector, and Certified Industrial Hygienist. The contractor provides all labor, materials, equipment, personal protective equipment, and assumes responsibility for asbestos waste disposal and decontamination.

Responses must include company information, SAM UEI, CAGE code, tax ID, and socio-economic status under NAICS 541620 (small business size standard $19.0 million). Interested parties must address small business, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUB Zone, woman-owned, and large business status and indicate GSA/FSS schedule availability.
