J045--Heat Exchanger BD208 VAMC Las Vegas 36C261-26-AP-0789

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 is conducting market research for a heat exchanger procurement at the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System in Las Vegas. The VA seeks vendors capable of providing a Flofab Heat Exchanger Tag Bundle (Model TB-1086-2A) with specific technical specifications including 150 PSIG pressure rating, 375 degree Fahrenheit temperature rating, 114.03 square feet steel tube sheet, 304 stainless steel tubes, and teflon components, along with two 10-inch head gaskets and shell gaskets. Vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide company details including business size classification under NAICS code 333414 for Heating Equipment Manufacturing, which has a 500-employee size standard for small business determination. The government will use responses to make appropriate acquisition decisions and may subsequently publish a formal solicitation on Contract Opportunities or GSA e-Buy. The response deadline is October 16, 2025, at 10:00 Pacific Time, with responses to this sources sought notice not constituting adequate responses to any future solicitation.

This opportunity operates without any set-aside designation, making it open to all qualified vendors regardless of size or socioeconomic status, though the government is collecting information on various business classifications including HUBZone, 8(a), small business, small disadvantaged business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, and large business categories. The procurement focuses on a single heat exchanger unit with associated gasket components, indicating a relatively specialized replacement or maintenance requirement for existing facility equipment. No incumbent contractors, award values, or budget ranges are specified in the sources sought notice, as this represents the initial market research phase of the procurement process. The technical specifications indicate this is likely a critical infrastructure component replacement given the precise engineering requirements and specialized nature of the heat exchanger model.
