The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 is soliciting installation services for privacy curtains and tracks at two VA Medical Centers in Tennessee, specifically the Alvin C. York VA Medical Center in Murfreesboro and the Nashville VA Medical Center. The solicitation requires a contractor to remove existing curtains, dismantle current curtain systems, add/remove carriers, lubricate tracks, and install new disposable curtains according to manufacturer specifications, with ICP Medical's Rapid Refresh Privacy Curtains and Installation kit serving as the basis of design. The procurement will utilize FAR 13.106 comparative analysis evaluation procedures, with questions due by January 10, 2025 at 1:00pm CST and quotes required by January 14, 2025 at 10:00am CST. The solicitation incorporates specific performance requirements, including completing all work during normal business hours (8:00 AM to 8:00 PM EST), excluding federal holidays. Contractors will be evaluated based on their ability to meet these technical and operational specifications.

The contract is structured as a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under NAICS code 313210 with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The project involves installing 1,344 privacy curtains with an estimated performance period from January 15, 2025 to May 15, 2025. While specific award values are not explicitly stated in the solicitation, the scope suggests a moderate-sized installation project across two VA medical facilities in Tennessee. The work will be performed within the medical centers, requiring careful coordination with existing healthcare operations and adherence to healthcare facility protocols. Potential bidders must demonstrate capability to execute the installation efficiently and professionally, with attention to detail and minimal disruption to medical center operations.
