The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive maintenance services for Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems and exchange of Deionized (DI) Water Tanks at the VA San Diego Medical Center. The scope of work includes furnishing all necessary labor, materials, parts, and transportation to perform monthly preventative maintenance inspections, equipment servicing, parts replacement, water quality monitoring, and annual diagnostics for multiple RO water systems located throughout various buildings at the medical center. Key requirements include maintaining water quality above 90%, replacing components such as softener tanks, UV lamps, and membranes, monitoring chemical contaminants, and adhering to AAMI standards. Questions regarding the solicitation are due by July 7, 2025, at 3:00 PM MST, with offers due by July 14, 2025, at 5:00 PM MST, to be submitted via email to Earl Henry, Contract Specialist. A mandatory pre-proposal site visit was scheduled for June 27, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST, requiring advance registration with the contract specialist.

This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designations and is unrestricted to all qualified vendors. The contract structure includes a firm fixed-price acquisition with a base period from July 14, 2025, to September 30, 2025, followed by four option years extending through September 30, 2029, with a total potential value of $41 million. The government has recommended a $20,000 allocation for emergency repairs and parts/labor, though recent amendments reveal that the RO system is currently non-operational and may require significant repair work beyond normal maintenance. Contractors are advised that base year pricing may be higher due to unforeseen issues with the system's condition. The place of performance is the VA San Diego Medical Center located at 3350 La Jolla Village Drive in San Diego, California. All services must be performed at this location, with contractors required to utilize designated contractor parking spaces behind the parking structure.
