Contractors must be National Environmental Balancing Bureau (NEBB) or Associated Air Balance Council (AABC) certified and capable of providing detailed air testing reports that include room air changes and pressure differentials. Quotes are due by April 14, 2025, at 8:00 AM CDT, with a mandatory site visit scheduled for April 1, 2025, at 10:00 AM local time. The evaluation will likely focus on technical capability, certification, and compliance with VHA HVAC Design Guide specifications.

The contract is set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 238220, with a size standard of $19 million. The base contract period runs from May 1, 2025, through April 30, 2026, with four additional one-year option periods available at the government's discretion. The scope of work covers 76 distinct rooms across multiple buildings, including the Tomah VA Medical Center and Community-Based Outpatient Clinics in La Crosse and Wausau, Wisconsin. The testing will be conducted annually, with specific requirements for air changes per hour and pressure differentials in various medical spaces. Contractors must be prepared to return and retest up to five rooms per site visit, with a maximum of two additional site visits per year if initial tests fail. While no specific award value is mentioned, the comprehensive nature of the testing and multiple facility coverage suggests a significant contract opportunity for qualified small businesses in the HVAC testing and balancing sector.
