H312--Fire Damper Inspection

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 is seeking fire damper inspection and testing services for the Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center. The solicitation (Number 36C24725Q0653) requires comprehensive fire damper inspection across multiple buildings, specifically involving approximately 179 fire dampers in Building 137, testing 4 attic fire dampers in Building 61, and decommissioning fire dampers in Buildings 146, 147, and 149. Contractors must adhere to NFPA 105 standards and perform thorough field inspections to verify the total number of fire dampers, understanding that provided "as-built" drawings may not be completely accurate. The original bid due date was May 23, 2025, but an amendment extended the deadline to June 5, 2025, at 1:00 PM EDT to allow additional time for drawing review and bidding. The procurement falls under the Building Inspection Services NAICS category (541350) and the Inspection-Fire Control Equipment PSC category (H312).

The solicitation does not have a specific set-aside designation, though the original documentation referenced a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) consideration. The project is located in Montgomery and Tuskegee, Alabama, with strict security and privacy requirements for contractors working at the facility. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the scope involves comprehensive fire damper inspection and testing across five buildings totaling approximately 179 dampers. Contractors will need to demonstrate significant technical capability, attention to detail, and compliance with fire safety standards. The contract appears to be a short-term service engagement focused on critical fire safety infrastructure inspection and maintenance at the VA Medical Center, with work to be completed within a relatively compressed timeframe following contract award.
