J056--Anti-Barricade Doors

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA) is seeking a contractor to procure and install eight anti-barricade doors and recertify an alarm system at the Spokane VA Medical Center in Washington state. The project, identified as solicitation number 36C26025R0046 and project number 668-25-104, will fall under the Commercial and Institutional Building Construction NAICS category. While specific evaluation criteria have not been disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the contract will involve construction-related work focused on security infrastructure improvements. The VA Network Contracting Office 20 in Vancouver, WA, led by Contracting Officer Derek Crockett, plans to release the Request for Proposals on or around January 10, 2025, though they reserve the right to modify the timeline or potentially not release the solicitation if facility needs change. Interested contractors should carefully monitor the official solicitation for detailed scope requirements and specific submission guidelines.

The procurement is currently designated as a total small business set-aside, though there is a noted discrepancy in the documents suggesting it might also be a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside. The anticipated contract value ranges between $25,000 and $100,000, consistent with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 36.204 guidelines. The project will be located at 4815 N Assembly St. in Spokane, WA, and will specifically involve the installation of eight anti-barricade doors and associated alarm system recertification. The Product Service Code (PSC) for this opportunity is J056, which covers maintenance, repair, and rebuilding of equipment related to construction and building materials. Contractors interested in bidding should ensure they meet the small business or SDVOSB qualifications and have relevant experience in institutional building construction and security infrastructure improvements.
