About this opportunity
Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 (VA Tuscaloosa) issued a Special Notice and Request for Information on August 31, 2026, for repair of medical gas system leaks and replacement of approximately 26 zone valves at Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center, with responses due September 3, 2026, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time. The solicitation number is 36C24726Q0868; PSC J065 (Medical Equipment Repair); NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services).
Valve installation locations include operating rooms, intensive care units, post-anesthesia care units, radiology departments, and patient exam rooms; Infection Control Risk Assessment procedures are likely required. The backup oxygen header is configured as an in-building emergency reserve. The government has provided the most recent annual medical gas inspection report and photographs of affected areas to inform vendor quotations. Site visits are not currently planned.
Multiple vendors have submitted clarification questions regarding the exact locations and specifications of valves to be replaced, distinction between missing zone valves requiring addition versus existing leaking valves requiring replacement, zone valve box versus service/in-line valve configuration, and whether the count of 26 represents locations or total valve units across gas types (oxygen, medical air, vacuum). The government documentation indicates some missing zone valves could not be located or do not exist, and clarification of scope remains outstanding.
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.
3rd Vendor:

Not currently planned
