The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 is conducting a market research initiative through a Sources Sought notice (Solicitation 36C24526Q0147) for the replacement of two hot water and two cold water pumps in the Operating Room Mechanical Room at the Washington DC VA Medical Center. The procurement falls under NAICS code 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and PSC code J041 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, and Air Circulating Equipment). Key requirements include comprehensive mechanical system upgrades involving demolition of existing pumps, installation of new pumps with equal or greater capacity, electrical rewiring, controls integration with the Siemens Building Automation System, system balancing, and insulation work, all while complying with VA standards and local codes and minimizing disruption to patient care operations. The government seeks responses from interested vendors that include business name, socio-economic status, contact information, capability statements, available contract vehicles, relevant certifications, and confirmation of self-performance or subcontracting intentions to inform the acquisition strategy. All responses must be submitted by December 5, 2025, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time to the contracting office at the Department of Veterans Affairs VAMC in Baltimore, Maryland, with John Ritter designated as the primary point of contact.

No specific set-aside designation has been indicated for this procurement at this time; however, the market research may result in a future set-aside for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, or full and open competition. The government files do not identify any current incumbents or existing contractors for this requirement. No award value or specific budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The scope includes replacement of four total pumps (two hot water units and two cold water units) at the Washington DC VA Medical Center location, with the project requiring comprehensive documentation and training for VA maintenance staff upon completion. This Sources Sought notice represents an early market research phase designed to develop the requirement and acquisition strategy, with the potential for a formal solicitation to follow based on responses received.
