J041--Preventive Maintenance and Repair Services for HVAC Water Chillers and Air Handling Units (AHU) at the VA Caribbean Healthcare System (VACHS)

The Department of Veterans Affairs issued an Intent to Consolidate Notice on July 30, 2026, for Preventive Maintenance and Repair Services for HVAC Water Chillers and Air Handling Units at the VA Caribbean Healthcare System, consolidating two separate contracts into a single firm-fixed-price requirements contract with no set-aside. The consolidation merges services previously performed by Multi Air Services Engineers, Corp. (small business) and ISONMASE, LLC (SDVOSB joint venture) into one contract covering 51 water chillers and 51 AHUs, effective September 10, 2026, through September 9, 2031. Services include preventive and corrective maintenance per manufacturer standards, replacement of consumables, and replacement of damaged parts under a Performance Work Statement with measurable outcomes. The requirement falls under NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning Contractors) with a $19 million size standard and PSC code J041. The VA projects approximately 14 percent in total five-year savings through reduced contractor overhead, economies of scale, facility consolidation, and streamlined administration. The recommended procurement strategy employs tiered evaluation beginning with SDVOSBs, expanding to small businesses, to maximize socioeconomic participation while preserving capability for this mission-critical healthcare infrastructure service. The SBA Procurement Center Representative and VA Small Business Specialist concurred with the consolidation approach. Contact Contracting Officer Baryan Sierra at baryan.sierrapierluissi@va.gov.
