J046-- Chiller Line Insulation Replacement

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 is seeking a contractor to perform chiller water line insulation replacement services at the Wm. Jennings Bryan Dorn VA Medical Center in Columbia, South Carolina. The project requires the contractor to remove existing piping insulation from Building 100 (floors 5 through 1) and re-insulate with 2-inch thick fiberglass insulation topped with an aluminum jacket. This is a one-time service procurement under NAICS code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors). Interested vendors must submit capability statements by October 28, 2025, at 1:00 PM EDT, which should include company name, contact information, NAICS codes, business size classification, UEI Number, and a Statement of Capability demonstrating relevant experience. It is important to note that this Pre-Solicitation Notice is a market survey to identify potential qualified sources rather than a formal solicitation, and the VA will publish a future solicitation after reviewing submitted responses.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a set-aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBC). Work is scheduled to be performed during regular business hours on floors 5, 4, 3, and 2, while work on the first floor will occur after-hours and on weekends to minimize operational disruption. The notice does not disclose an estimated award value or budget range for this project. No incumbent contractor information has been provided in the Pre-Solicitation Notice. Interested service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses should use this opportunity to submit capability statements demonstrating their qualifications and past performance in similar insulation replacement projects to position themselves for the upcoming formal solicitation.
