N045--Domestic Water Booster System Replacement

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 seeks replacement of a domestic water booster system at Olin E. Teague Veterans' Medical Center in Temple, Texas, with proposals due July 23, 2026 at 4:00 PM CDT. This is a total set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses with an estimated contract value of $19 million.

Place of performance is Building 208, Room 119, 1901 Veterans Memorial Drive, Temple, TX 76504. The solicitation requires replacement of the existing domestic water booster system with three Ebara Series 3U pumps (Model 3U40-160) and associated equipment, with the system delivering 525 GPM at 85 psi and suction pressure of 50–80 psi. Work must comply with VA standards, NEC, NFPA, and OSHA regulations, and all parts must be BAA/TAA-compliant. The contractor is responsible for supplying all required valves and materials for isolation and tie-ins; the VA provides water outage support and shutdown coordination assistance. Work completion is required within 30–60 calendar days of award, with detailed scheduling due within 10 days. A planned facility shutdown during early morning hours or Saturday will minimize patient care disruption. This is a new contract with no incumbent.

A mandatory site visit is scheduled for July 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM CST; technical questions are due July 10, 2026 at 4:00 PM CST. Offerors must submit capability statements, technical approaches, and past performance references for similar contracts completed within the last five years. NAICS code 238220 applies (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors); PSC is N045. Evaluation criteria are technical capability, past performance, and price, with award made on best-value basis. Amendment 0001 was issued July 2, 2026 (clarifying no incumbent and equipment specifications); acknowledgment of receipt is required prior to the proposal deadline.
