About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration is requesting information for repair and remediation of medical gas leaks at the Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with responses due by September 3, 2026 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time. The scope includes replacement of 26 zone valves in patient exam rooms, operating rooms, intensive care, post-anesthesia care, and radiology areas, along with repair of deficiencies identified in the facility's medical gas system. The backup oxygen header is an in-building emergency reserve. No site visits are currently planned. Multiple vendors have submitted clarification questions regarding critical project details, including the distinction between missing zone valves requiring addition versus leaking zone valves requiring replacement, whether the count of 26 refers to 26 different locations or 26 total valves accounting for multiple gas types per location (oxygen, medical air, vacuum), the availability of photographs and specifications for existing headers and valves, and access to the most recent annual medical gas inspection report. Attached documents include photographs of existing equipment, boom hose inspection reports, preventive maintenance records dated July 1, 2026, and a comprehensive medical gas systems maintenance inspection report dated June 2–4, 2026 identifying six deficient valves and nine deficient outlets/inlets requiring remediation. The solicitation number is 36C24726Q0868; NAICS code 561210 (Facilities Support Services); PSC code J065 (Medical Gas Systems).
Notice text
RFI QUESTIONS AND QUESTIONS:
1st Vendor:
I respectfully request any available photographs of the existing header currently installed.
Attached
If photographs are not available, we would greatly appreciate any identifying information you may have for the existing header, including the manufacturer, model number, and part number.
This information will assist us in accurately evaluating the existing conditions and preparing our quotation accordingly.
2nd Vendor:
1. Is there a proposed site visit?
Not currently planned
2. Can you provide the most recent annual medical gas inspection report?
Attached
3. Can you provide pictures of the backup oxygen header?
Attached
4. Is the backup oxygen header outside at the bulk oxygen site or an in-building emergency
reserve?
In-building reserve
5. Can you provide pictures of the valves that are being replaced?
Attached.. Although some of the missing zone valves either could not be located or do not exist.
6. Can you provide sizes of the valves being replaced?
Attached.. Although some of the missing zone valves either could not be located or do not exist.
7. Can you confirm you are referring to zone valve boxes (in hallways, operable from a
standing position) or are you referring to service/in-line valves (in ceilings, mechanical
rooms, etc.)?
Unknown, some of the missing zone valves either could not be located or do not exist.
8. Can you clarify the zone valve issue; are there zone valves missing that need to be
added, or are we replacing leaking zone valves? SOW says, missing zone valves , but
it seems unlikely that the facility is missing that many valves. Zone valves have been in
the code for decades.
Some of the missing zone valves either could not be located or do not exist.
9. SOW (B) states 26 zone valves; is it 26 different locations or 26 total valves. Ex:
Oxygen, Medical Air, Vacuum for ICU. In your count, are you counting that as 3 valves
even though it s in a single zone valve box .
See attached report for details.
10. Can you identify the areas where the new zone valves will be installed? OR s, ICU,
PACU, Radiology, etc. The area they are in impacts the ICRA procedures and hours of
operation.
Patient exam rooms. ICRA procedures will likely be required.
