About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source a firm-fixed-price contract for well water replacement and rehabilitation services at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center in Chillicothe, Ohio. This special notice, published on April 24, 2026, indicates the VA's intent to award the contract to Moody's of Dayton based on that vendor's site-specific expertise and historical knowledge of the facility's well systems. The acquisition is being conducted under FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source) and falls under PSC Code J043 (Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding of Equipment - Pumps and Compressors) and NAICS Code 811310. However, the notice remains open to alternative qualified sources that can demonstrate equivalent capabilities and meet the strict project timeline.
The primary objective is to procure comprehensive well field rehabilitation services, including testing and video inspection of two existing wells, staged mechanical and chemical rehabilitation, removal and replacement of pump and motor assemblies, installation of two new submersible pumps capable of delivering 350 GPM at 60-75 PSI, installation of VFDs and SCADA controls, communications equipment upgrades, and a 36-month warranty on all equipment and workmanship. Interested contractors must submit detailed capability statements, including UEI number, active SAM.gov registration, business size classification, technical qualifications, project references, and evidence of schedule feasibility by May 1, 2026 at 4:00 PM Eastern Time to Matthew Curtis at matthew.curtis1@va.gov. All work must be completed within 90 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed issuance at the well field location east of State Route 104. While the VA originally intended sole source procurement with Moody's of Dayton, this notice provides an opportunity for other qualified firms to submit competing capability statements and potentially justify a competitive procurement process.
