J041--Atrium Fan Motor Warranted Replacement Service

The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to issue a sole-source firm-fixed price contract for the removal and replacement of three warranted atrium fan motors at the St. Petersburg, Florida Veterans Affairs Regional Office. The procurement falls under product service code J041 (maintenance and repair of air circulating equipment) and NAICS code 333413 (industrial and commercial fan manufacturing). The contract requirement is to replace the failed fan motors with units that will be covered under the original equipment manufacturer's warranty, with a project manager assigned to identify certified and authorized vendors in the St. Petersburg service area to complete the installation work. As this is a pre-solicitation notice announcing the government's intent to sole-source the requirement, no formal evaluation criteria are presented, and the government explicitly states that no quotes, inquiries, or communications will be accepted, reviewed, or responded to during this notification phase. The response deadline listed is 14:00 Eastern Time, with the contracting officer H. David Carter serving as the point of contact at the VA's acquisition directorate located in Washington, DC.

This procurement involves no set-aside designations and will be awarded exclusively to Delta T., LLC (operating as Big Ass Fans), the original equipment manufacturer, as the only responsible source capable of satisfying agency requirements under FAR 6.103-1. The contract involves the replacement of three fan motor units that require removal and installation by OEM-certified technicians within the St. Petersburg service area. No specific contract value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The OEM's project manager will validate the warranty claim and coordinate with authorized vendors to schedule and complete the installation work in coordination with the VARO point of contact. As a pre-solicitation notice, this announcement serves solely to notify the public of the government's intent to sole-source the requirement, and no award determination will be made based on any communications received in response to this notice.
