J040--Elevator Inspection and Maintenance Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (Boston Healthcare System) is seeking elevator inspection and maintenance services through a pre-solicitation notice. The government intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for these facilities support services, which fall under NAICS code 561210. The solicitation document (36C24125Q0585) will be available for download on July 11, 2025, with responses due by July 18, 2025 at 12 PM Eastern Time. The contract will be awarded to the responsive offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements and represents the most advantageous offer to the government based on price and other evaluated factors. All prospective offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to contract award, and questions may be directed to Contracting Officer Issa Shawki at issa.shawki@va.gov.

This procurement opportunity is exclusively set aside for Service Disabled-Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), reflecting the VA's commitment to supporting veteran-owned enterprises. The solicitation will not be available for mailing, requiring all interested parties to download the documents electronically. The contract structure as a Blanket Purchase Agreement suggests the VA anticipates ongoing, recurring elevator maintenance needs rather than a one-time service delivery. The extremely short response window of just seven days from solicitation release to submission deadline indicates this may be a straightforward procurement with well-defined requirements. The PSC code J040 specifically categorizes this as maintenance, repair, and rebuild services for rope, cable, chain, and fittings equipment, which aligns with the specialized nature of elevator maintenance work.
