H245--Annual Boiler Maintenance

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 is seeking annual boiler maintenance services for the West Roxbury Division, specifically covering Building 20 PH with three Aerco 750 Natural Gas boilers and one Burnham P810HNEI-L2 Natural Gas boiler at the Fisher House. The solicitation (Number 36C24125Q0459) requires a comprehensive maintenance contract that includes inspection, testing, and servicing in accordance with manufacturer recommendations, with the contractor providing all necessary labor, materials, tools, and special equipment. Evaluation will be conducted on a best value basis, considering price, past performance, technical capability, and a Veterans Preference Factor that provides price credits for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB). The solicitation was posted on May 7, 2025, with proposals due by May 14, 2025, and includes provisions for one base year with four potential option years. Contractors must adhere to Wage Determination 2015-4047 rev. 29, dated 12/23/24, and comply with specific security and records management requirements.

The solicitation does not have a specific set-aside, but strongly encourages veteran-owned business participation through its evaluation criteria. The contract will be performed during normal working hours at the VA Boston Healthcare System's West Roxbury Division, with a focus on maintaining critical boiler infrastructure. While specific award value details are not explicitly stated, the wage determination and contract structure suggest a moderate-sized maintenance contract with potential multi-year engagement. Contractors must certify that they will either perform 100% of the contract work themselves or ensure that their company and similarly situated subcontractors perform at least 50% of the contract's value. The procurement falls under NAICS Category 811310 for Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance, and PSC Category H245 for Equipment and Materials Testing of Plumbing, Heating, and Waste Disposal Equipment. Severe penalties, including potential fines up to $500,000 and possible debarment, are outlined for non-compliance with subcontracting rules.
