NOI- Brand Name or Equal- Andover HVAC Controls

The Special Notice from the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Los Angeles announces intent to sole source an upcoming construction contract to renovate medical support and food service areas at the Loma Linda Veteran Affairs Medical Center. The scope of work involves converting a laundry room to clinical space, renovating areas for new functions, and replacing an existing cart washer.

The solicitation, set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, requires installation of Andover brand HVAC controls according to specifications as the VA designated this system for the renovated spaces. The notice seeks contractor responses by July 2023 to address how alternative HVAC systems could alleviate concerns over increased costs from additional inventory, training, and maintenance given the VA's goal of standardizing controls across the facility. Responses should provide company information and be emailed to the specified contracting staff by the stated deadline. Eligible contractors must be able to fulfill the requirement to install Andover HVAC controls while proposing alternatives that still meet the VA's standardization objectives.
