Fire and Smoke Inspection

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is seeking qualified vendors to provide fire and smoke damper inspection services at Jefferson Barracks and John Cochran facilities in St. Louis, Missouri. The services require inspecting and testing 441 fire and smoke dampers to ensure compliance with NFPA codes and Joint Commission standards, which includes locating and operating dampers, removing and resetting fusible links, clearing debris, coordinating with fire departments, manually activating actuators, installing access doors as needed, and providing comprehensive documentation with digital photographs and detailed reports. Vendors must demonstrate technical capability to meet all inspection and documentation specifications outlined in the Request for Information. The evaluation will consider vendors' ability to comply with the detailed inspection requirements, their business size status, and their capacity to meet NFPA and Joint Commission compliance standards. The deadline for vendor responses to this Sources Sought notice is November 1, 2025 at 10:00 AM Central Standard Time, with responses to be submitted via email.

This procurement opportunity is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), though the RFI welcomes responses from other small business categories including VOSB, HUBZone, and WOSB firms to inform future acquisition decisions. The applicable NAICS code is 541350 (Building Inspection Services) and the PSC category is S202 (Housekeeping–Fire Protection). While no incumbent contractor or specific award value has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the scope involves comprehensive inspection of 441 fire and smoke dampers with detailed reporting requirements. The VA emphasizes that this is an information-gathering exercise and does not constitute a formal solicitation; however, responses will be used to make acquisition decisions and may lead to a future formal solicitation announcement. Interested vendors should provide their UEI number, business size status, NAICS code classification, and detailed capabilities demonstrating their ability to meet all technical and compliance requirements.
