About this opportunity
Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 7 is conducting sources-sought market research for the Building 3 Dental Vacuum Pump Replacement at Carl Vinson VA Medical Center in Dublin, Georgia, with responses due November 6, 2026. The Set Aside line designates Total Small Business, and the notice states that no set-aside determination has been made; the Government requests responses particularly from SBA-certified SDVOSBs and VOSBs to inform its acquisition strategy, including potential set-aside opportunities.

The contractor replaces two existing dental vacuum pumps and the associated control system, including site assessment, safe disconnection and disposal of existing pumps and obsolete controls, piping, electrical, and control-wiring integration, operational and leak testing, and delivery of manuals, warranty, and as-built documentation.

All installation personnel must hold current ASSE 6010 Medical Gas Systems Installer certification.
The anticipated contract type is firm-fixed-price with a completion period of 90 calendar days from award, with time extensions granted for equipment lead times exceeding that window. The source does not state an award value.
