H165--FY26 - NJHCS Medical Gas Systems Inspections and PM

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 is seeking a full-service preventive maintenance and inspection contract for medical gas systems at the New Jersey Healthcare System's Lyons and East Orange campuses. The contractor must provide annual preventive maintenance services on medical gas distribution systems including oxygen, medical compressed air, vacuum, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen systems, encompassing approximately 700 outlets across multiple buildings. Key qualifications include technicians certified to ASSE 6040 and 6030 standards, with work to be performed Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with some after-hours scheduling for operating and recovery rooms. The contract will be firm fixed-price, and contractors must submit capability statements, past performance examples, SAM UEI numbers, and socio-economic status documentation by the November 6, 2025 deadline at 12:00 PM ET. The VA anticipates contract performance will begin in December 2025 under NAICS code 541350 for Building Inspection Services.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates the VA is exploring potential set-asides for small businesses, including service-disabled veteran-owned, veteran-owned, women-owned, HUBZone, and 8(a) businesses, though no set-aside has been designated at this time. The contract structure includes a base year plus four option years, providing a five-year performance period. No specific incumbent contractor or award value has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation materials. Contractors should note that maintenance of dental and medical air compressors and dental vacuum pumps are explicitly excluded from this contract's scope. This pre-solicitation notice represents an early notification opportunity for interested vendors to prepare for the formal solicitation process.
