H144--Steam Quality Testing Service

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 seeks steam quality testing services for the Sterile Processing Service at the Hampton VA Medical Center, with a solicitation due date of November 25, 2026. The notice's Set Aside field reads "No Set-Aside Used," which governs over the small business designation in the attachment summary. Place of performance is Building 110A, 100 Emancipation Drive, Hampton, Virginia 23667.

Work requires annual steam quality testing each October, with sample points installed during the base year. Testing measures steam dryness against 97-100% and non-condensable gases against below 3.5% by volume. Work must comply with ANSI/AAMI ST79 and ST108, OSHA regulations, Joint Commission requirements, and VA policies. The contractor furnishes labor, equipment, materials, supplies, mobilization, and waste disposal as a turn-key service. Testing occurs 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday, with two weeks' advance notice and COR coordination, and formal sample reports are due within 30 days of testing. Personnel require a Tier 1/Low Risk background investigation, VA Privacy Policy Training, and security badges.

The contract is firm-fixed-price, with a base period of December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2027 and four one-year options through November 30, 2031. The base year costs $32,400, and total contract value is $178,000. Payment is Net 30 with quarterly invoicing in arrears upon delivery. The structured codes are NAICS 561210, Facilities Support Services, and PSC H144. The attachment summary cites PSC H944 and an emailed offer deadline of November 19, 2026 at 11:00 AM EST, which conflicts with the structured due date. The notice's description field is empty, so the details above come from attachment 36C24627Q0084.docx.
