N041--NTX Replace Chilled Water Pump and VFD #4

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration is seeking qualified contractors to replace Chilled Water Pump #4 and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) #4 at the Garland VA Medical Center. The project involves installing an Armstrong 4300 In-Line Pump and an ABB Model ACH580 variable frequency drive with specific technical specifications including ANSI 125 flange, cast iron casing, bronze impeller, and TEFC motor configurations. Contractors must conduct a mandatory site visit, develop a site-specific safety plan compliant with OSHA requirements, provide daily progress reports, and warrant all work for one year from the date of acceptance. The evaluation criteria will consider technical compliance with specifications, safety protocols, subcontracting limitations, and adherence to the Service Contract Act wage requirements applicable to Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Hunt, Kaufman, and Rockwall counties in Texas. The deadline for submission of offers is November 13, 2025, at 4:00 PM Central Time, with a mandatory site visit having been held on October 30, 2025.

This solicitation is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS code 238220 and PSC code N041. No incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The estimated contract value is $19 million, though this appears to represent a budget ceiling rather than the anticipated award value for this specific pump and VFD replacement project. The performance period extends 180 days from contract award, with work scheduled during normal business hours from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The place of performance is located at 2300 Marie Curie Blvd, Garland, TX 75042, and subcontractors are limited to no more than 50 percent of the contract amount, ensuring that at least half of contract work remains under SDVOSB performance. Contract inquiries should be directed to the contract specialist, Sherine Brooks, at Sherine.Brooks@va.gov.
