H912--NFPA 5 Year Sprinkler Testing VAPAHCS

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 is soliciting qualified contractors to perform NFPA 5-Year Sprinkler Internal Inspections across four VA medical facility locations in California. Contractors must possess both a valid California Sprinkler Fitter License and a C-16 Fire Protection Contractor License, with preference given to those with at least five years of experience inspecting sprinkler systems in large medical facilities. The evaluation will be based on three factors: technical capability, past performance within the last three years (weighted heavily), and pricing. Work must be completed within 45 days of contract award, performed during normal business hours (8:00 AM–4:30 PM, Monday–Friday, excluding federal holidays), and coordinated with the Contracting Officer's Representative. The solicitation response deadline is February 24, 2026, at 3:00 PM PST, with site visits scheduled for February 10–11, 2026.

This is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside with a budgeted amount of $47 million and a principal NAICS code of 561210 (Facilities Support Services). The contract period of performance runs from March 9, 2026, to June 8, 2026, with a six-month option to extend services. The scope encompasses 61 buildings across four locations: Palo Alto (29 buildings), Menlo Park (22 buildings), Livermore (9 buildings), and Mountain View (1 building). Contractors must provide all necessary personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and services, including daily cleanup and waste disposal at their own expense. No more than 50% of government payment may be subcontracted to non-SDVOSB/VOSB firms, and all offers must be submitted electronically in three separate PDF volumes to Timothy.smith9de3@va.gov by the deadline.
