The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 is seeking a contractor to provide annual boiler maintenance services, including internal/external boiler inspections, safety valve replacement and recertification, emergency boiler repairs and welding, and semi-annual dual fuel tuning for gas and oil systems. The solicitation requires a firm-fixed-price contract with comprehensive technical and price proposals, with award selection based on the most advantageous quote to the government considering both technical approach and pricing. Key contract requirements include detailed inspection protocols, emergency repair capabilities, and adherence to a Statement of Work covering preventive and corrective maintenance tasks. The initial proposal deadline was January 14, 2026, but an amendment extended the due date to January 22, 2026 at 3:00 PM EST, providing additional time for offerors to prepare submissions. A mandatory site visit was scheduled for January 13, 2026 at 1:30 PM EST at the Bravo Echo 109 Engineering location to allow potential contractors to assess the equipment and facility conditions.

This solicitation is designated exclusively for Certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), representing a set-aside opportunity for this business category. Tate Engineering System, with Gordon Burns noted as a contact, is identified as the potential incumbent contractor. The total contract value is not to exceed $12.5 million, covering a base period from January 15, 2026 through December 31, 2026, plus four additional one-year option periods extending through December 31, 2030.
