The solicitation number is 36C24226Q0048, and the contracting officer is Mariangie Rivera. The notice was posted on October 17, 2025, and indicates that the VA intends to potentially award this contract on a sole-source basis to Eastern Heating & Cooling, Inc., the current authorized vendor for ALC equipment.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform interested contractors of the VA's intent to conduct a sole-source procurement while providing an opportunity for other qualified vendors to demonstrate their technical capability to service ALC equipment. Contractors wishing to compete must submit a technical capability statement by 10:00 AM Eastern Time on October 24, 2025, to the contracting officer via email. Submissions must include evidence of certifications, previous experience servicing ALC equipment, and authorization from ALC as the manufacturer. To be eligible, contractors must demonstrate they possess the specialized knowledge and manufacturer authorization necessary to maintain and repair the complex HVAC controls and building automation systems specified in Appendix A, which include critical medical center equipment requiring 24/7 coverage and emergency response capabilities. The contract period of performance is April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027, with four option years available. The government will use submitted capability statements solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement rather than award a sole-source contract, though the final decision to compete or maintain sole-source status remains at the agency's discretion.
