About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 seeks inspection, maintenance, and minor repairs to electrical and mechanical fire alarm and suppression systems at the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center, with quotes due October 23, 2026. This procurement is set aside 100 percent for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB).

Place of performance includes the main hospital building, several outbuildings on the medical center campus in Indianapolis, Indiana, and a remote site at 2669 Cold Springs Road. The scope encompasses functional testing of over 3,600 fire protection devices including 684 smoke detectors, 226 pull stations, 1,120 speakers/strobes, and 39 heat detectors, with most devices requiring annual testing per NFPA 72-2025 and NFPA 25-2026 standards. Contractor personnel must hold a minimum of five years' experience and current NICET Level II or Level III certification in the applicable discipline (fire alarm systems and water-based systems certifications are required). All contractor staff must undergo VA vetting and credentialing, maintain HIPAA compliance, and comply with infection control and security protocols. The contractor must provide 24/7 UL-listed central station monitoring service. Work must be completed within 90 days of contract signing for the first year. The base contract period runs December 15, 2026 through December 14, 2027, with four optional one-year extension periods extending through December 31, 2031. The budget ceiling is $25 million. NAICS code 561621 applies. Coordination occurs during routine business hours (8:00 AM – 4:30 PM ET, Monday–Friday); off-hours work requires prior VA approval. The RFI deadline was October 14, 2026. A mandatory site visit occurred October 7, 2026. Amendment 0003, posted October 16, allows substitution of current NICET Level II for NICET Level III certification for personnel performing inspection and testing of electronic fire alarm systems and water-based fire protection systems interfacing with electronic fire alarm systems.

Update #6 · Latest ·

The amendment states that all interested offerors will need a NICET 3 onsite during all inspections. This is not normal for our industry. A NICET 3 is an engineering/director level person who would not normally be a technical / on-site level performer. Can you change the wording so that it is either NICET level 2, or maybe adjust it to say the ability to conference or consult a NICET level 3, if needed? That way many interested bidders can respond to this, as per the industry level standards.

-The VA will accept a current NICET Level II certification, in the applicable discipline, in lieu of the specified NICET Level III certification for all locations under this requirement. This substitution applies to personnel performing inspection and testing of electronic fire alarm systems and devices including smoke and heat detectors and water-based fire protection systems and devices interfacing with electronic fire alarm systems, including waterflow and valve-tamper switches. All other solicitation requirements remain unchanged.

When does the VA plan to award this contract? It says a Dec 15 start date but is asking to have everything tested by Dec 31. This is not enough time to test the whole hospital. All interested offerors would need a full 30 days. If a new amendment could address this by saying that that is a target date and not an exact, or something to that effect, it would be much appreciated.

-The period of performance for the base contract period shall begin on the date of award and continue for 1 year thereafter. Each option period, if exercised, shall begin immediately upon expiration of the preceding period of performance.
