HVAC Replacement, West Haven VA Medical Center, West Haven, CT

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District New England is soliciting quotes for HVAC replacement services at the West Haven VA Medical Center in West Haven, Connecticut. The project involves replacing four existing non-functional wall-mounted HVAC units with new units at Building 14A, each providing minimum 3-ton cooling capacity, 67,500 BTU gas heat, and operating on 230/208V single-phase power. Contractors must remove and properly dispose of existing units, replace associated thermostats, connect to existing gas service, clean existing ductwork, and modify wall framing as necessary for installation. The contract will be awarded on a price-alone basis as a firm fixed-price arrangement, with quotes due by September 17, 2025 at 5:00 PM Eastern. All vendors must have active SAM.gov registration at the time of submission and may be required to provide bonding and a Letter of Bond Ability.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS code 238220 with a small business size standard of $19 million. The estimated contract value ranges between $100,000 and $250,000, with a performance period of 140 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. The work will be performed at Building 14A of the VA Connecticut Healthcare System Campus in West Haven, Connecticut, where contractors must comply with federal security requirements and prevailing wage determinations. A site visit was conducted on August 27, 2025, with eight companies attending, and the solicitation has been amended multiple times to address industry questions and extend the submission deadline. The contractor will be responsible for providing all necessary labor, materials, and equipment while maintaining the existing system's CFM settings to avoid rebalancing requirements.
