H259-- Electrical System Maintenance, Inspection, and Testing

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 is soliciting electrical maintenance, inspection, testing, and calibration services for the electrical power distribution systems at two facilities: Malcolm Randall Veterans Medical Center in Gainesville, Florida and Lake City Veterans Medical Center in Lake City, Florida. The solicitation requires contractors to provide comprehensive maintenance services for multiple electrical components including medium voltage circuit breakers, transformers, protective relays, low voltage power circuit breakers, switchgears, and transfer switches. Contractors must be certified by the National Electrical Testing Association (NETA), possess OSHA safety training, and comply with applicable electrical safety standards and codes. The contract will be awarded to the vendor offering the best value considering both technical capability and price as the primary evaluation criteria. The original proposal deadline was November 13, 2025, but has been extended to November 19, 2025, at 4:30 PM EST, with scheduled site visits on November 5, 2025, at the Gainesville facility and November 6, 2025, at the Lake City facility.

This solicitation (Number 36C24826Q0054) is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), restricting competition to businesses meeting this certification requirement. The contract has an estimated total value of $19 million and carries a performance period from December 1, 2025, through June 2, 2026, representing a three-year electrical maintenance engagement. At the Gainesville facility, the scope includes maintenance for 34 medium voltage circuit breakers, 12 medium voltage transformers, 33 protective relays, 130 low voltage power circuit breakers, 20 switchgears/switchboards, and 48 transfer switches, with similar quantities required at the Lake City location. The government has provided one-line electrical drawings and combined testing reports for both facilities to support contractor proposal development. Performance will be conducted at both the Gainesville, Florida 32608 and Lake City, Florida locations.
