This Special Notice (Solicitation Number 36C24226Q0055) was posted on October 17, 2025, and represents a potential sole-source procurement opportunity. The solicitation is issued under NAICS code 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and PSC code J035 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment). Market research conducted by the VA determined that specialized maintenance and software services for Trane proprietary systems can only be performed by Trane-qualified service technicians, establishing the basis for the sole-source approach. The contracting officer for this procurement is Mariangie Rivera.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to secure comprehensive maintenance and repair services for the facility's Trane HVAC controls and building automation systems during the contract period from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027, with four option years available. Interested contractors must submit a detailed technical capability statement demonstrating their ability to service Trane proprietary equipment by 10:00 AM Eastern Time on Friday, October 24, 2025, by emailing responses to Mariangie.Rivera@va.gov. Key requirements for contractors include possessing at least five years of experience with Trane equipment, providing 24/7 emergency repair services, conducting quarterly maintenance inspections with monthly inspections required, and delivering all labor, parts, and materials necessary for system diagnostics, repairs, and replacements. The government has indicated that Expressions of Interest submitted prior to October 22, 2025, will be evaluated solely to determine whether a competitive procurement should be conducted, with the final decision remaining at the government's discretion. Interested vendors should note that this represents an opportunity to potentially compete against the intended sole-source awardee if sufficient capability statements are received.
