J046--Humidifier RO System Maintenance and Service

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 8, sought maintenance and service for a Humidifier Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Treatment System at the Malcolm Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville, Florida under solicitation 36C24826Q0596. The contractor was required to provide preventive maintenance, monthly inspections, filter replacements, system pressure verification, water quality monitoring, consumables and exchange vessel replacement, and corrective maintenance services with a one business day response time. Performance metrics included achieving 95 percent system uptime or greater, responding to service requests within one day, completing 100 percent of preventive maintenance tasks, and maintaining 100 percent consumable availability. However, this solicitation has been canceled in its entirety as of April 24, 2026, due to insufficient information regarding the existing system configuration and site conditions. The Government was unable to identify and verify the location of the existing system during a scheduled site visit on April 23, 2026, preventing fair and accurate competition among offerors.

This acquisition was set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) registered and verified with the Small Business Administration and System for Award Management. The contract was structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) arrangement with a base period of one year and four one-year option periods, totaling five years if all options were exercised. No award value or budget information was disclosed in the solicitation documents. The place of performance is located at 1601 SW Archer Road, Gainesville, Florida 32608. The Government intends to reassess the requirement, locate and verify the existing system, and obtain necessary technical information before issuing a revised solicitation at a later date. Offerors are encouraged to monitor SAM.gov for any future re-solicitation of this requirement, as any proposals already submitted under the canceled solicitation will not be evaluated.
