N099--GNV Warehouse Loading Dock Vehicle Entry Barrier Gate

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 is seeking to procure a warehouse loading dock vehicle entry barrier gate system for the North Florida South Georgia Veterans Health System facility in Gainesville, Florida. The project involves comprehensive installation services including excavating soil for a gate operator pad, pouring concrete for bollards and an operator base, and installing various components such as a gate operator, surge protection system, gate arm, pendulum support post, and dual head pedestal with hoods. This procurement falls under NAICS code 561621 for Security Systems Services and PSC code N099 for Installation of Equipment-Miscellaneous. The solicitation notice indicates that a previous Request for Quote (RFQ 36C24825Q1072) for a similar barrier arm gate project has been canceled. The current pre-solicitation has a response deadline of October 6, 2025, at 4:30 PM Eastern Time, though the VA has stated that no award will be made under this current solicitation and the project will be re-solicited at a future date.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting participation to qualified small businesses under SBA guidelines. No information regarding potential incumbents, current contractors, or award values is provided in the available documentation. The solicitation does not specify quantities of equipment or detailed timeline requirements for service completion beyond the initial response deadline. The cancellation of the previous RFQ and the indication that this current solicitation will not result in an award suggests the VA is restructuring its approach to this procurement. Small businesses interested in this security systems installation project should monitor for the future re-solicitation announcement, as the current notice serves primarily as advance notification of the VA's procurement intentions rather than an active bidding opportunity.
