The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Veterans Integrated Service Network 20, is seeking a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) to replace mechanical and plumbing systems at the Jonathan M. Wainwright VA Medical Center in Walla Walla, Washington. The contract will be a Firm-Fixed-Price Construction Contract requiring the contractor to furnish supervision, labor, and materials to replace major mechanical and plumbing components that have exceeded their useful life, including piping, valves, gauges, and supporting systems. The solicitation will be issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP) in accordance with FAR Parts 15, 19, and 36, with evaluation procedures to be detailed in the full solicitation. All questions must be submitted in writing to Contract Specialist Susan L. Howe via email at susan.howe2@va.gov by May 14 at 8:00 AM Pacific Time, and only SDVOSB firms will be considered for this opportunity. The solicitation is expected to be issued in May 2025, with a formal competitive proposal process to follow.

The contract is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses using NAICS Code 238220, with a size standard of $19 Million. The total contract value is estimated between $5 million and $10 million, with a performance period of approximately 360 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. The project involves comprehensive mechanical and plumbing system replacements at the VA Medical Center, targeting infrastructure components that have reached the end of their operational lifecycle. Proposals will only be accepted from SDVOSB concerns, effectively limiting competition to qualified veteran-owned businesses with expertise in mechanical and plumbing system renovations. The geographic scope is limited to the Jonathan M. Wainwright VA Medical Center located at 77 Wainwright Drive in Walla Walla, Washington, indicating a focused, site-specific infrastructure improvement project.
