Project 544-21-103 C onstruction services to replace critical patient care building automation systems

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 is procuring construction services to replace critical patient care building automation systems across multiple buildings at the Columbia VA Health Care System Campus in Columbia, South Carolina. This comprehensive project, designated as PROJECT 544-21-103, involves replacing and integrating building automation systems in 15 buildings including facilities 5, 9, 9A, 20, 21, 22, 100, 100A, 103, 103A, 106, 114, 120, 122, and 133 on the campus. The work encompasses control panel integration, utility metering, system monitoring points, network cabling, sensor installations, and integration with existing systems including solar PV, generators, elevator monitoring, and fire protection systems. The project requires contractors to provide new sensors, network connections, and system integration panels while potentially reusing existing enclosures if they meet electrical code standards. However, this solicitation has been cancelled as of August 28, 2025, with the government indicating that the requirement will be resolicited at a later date, making the original August 15, 2025 proposal deadline no longer applicable.

This opportunity was designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business sole source procurement, indicating it was reserved exclusively for qualifying SDVOSB contractors. The project documentation reveals active engagement from multiple construction companies including CMI, Harbor Services Inc, Boyer Construction, and JV/JOC Group LLC, suggesting these firms were among those preparing proposals before the cancellation. The solicitation included a deductive alternate option that would remove all nurse call-related work and reduce the project performance period by 30 calendar days. The work is classified under NAICS code 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction and PSC code Z1DA for Maintenance of Hospitals and Infirmaries. While specific contract values were not disclosed in the available documentation, the comprehensive scope spanning 15 buildings and involving critical patient care systems suggests a substantial construction project that will be reintroduced through a future solicitation process.
