J065-- Museum Garaventa Lift Repair

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7, specifically the Central Alabama Veterans Health Care System, is soliciting on-site repair services for a Garaventa Lift (model GSL Artira, serial number 67171) located in the museum at 215 Perry Hill Road in Montgomery, Alabama. The repair work includes replacing the battery box, main board, call box, courtesy lamp, and terminal strip set, with the contractor required to provide all parts, labor, materials, supplies, test equipment, and calibration services using only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. Key contract requirements include providing a 90-day warranty on parts and service, submitting a service report within three business days of repair completion, and ensuring comprehensive repair of the lift system. The solicitation was originally issued on December 9, 2025, with an initial offer due date of December 15, 2025, but has been amended to extend the deadline to December 18, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST to allow additional time for proposal submission.

This solicitation is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small businesses owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans. The total contract value is approximately $34 million, representing a significant procurement for the equipment repair services required. No incumbent contractor or current service provider is identified in the solicitation documents. The work is to be performed on-site at the Veterans Affairs facility in Montgomery, Alabama, with points of contact for technical questions and submissions being Mr. William Piper (334-590-8439) and Ms. Jasmine McCloud (334-314-1762). The compressed timeline for proposal submission—less than two weeks from the initial posting—emphasizes the urgency of the lift repair requirement for the VA facility.
