The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center is soliciting comprehensive design-build services for interior renovations of Building 73 at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center campus.

The VA will evaluate proposals using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with primary evaluation criteria encompassing technical approach, key personnel qualifications, project experience, and past performance ratings across metrics including quality, schedule adherence, communication, management, cost control, and subcontract management. The amendment extending the technical questions deadline to February 2, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST was issued on January 26, 2026, with the final proposal submission deadline established as February 17, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST, following a two-phase selection process with a maximum of five offerors advancing to Phase 2.

This solicitation is a total set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), with no identified incumbent contractors in the provided documents. The estimated project cost ranges between $300,000 and $600,000, with a budget authority of approximately $600,000 and a performance period of 370 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, which was originally scheduled for July 14, 2025. The prime contractor must maintain the SDVOSB status throughout contract performance and may not subcontract more than 85% of the contract value to non-certified SDVOSB or VOSB entities, ensuring significant veteran-owned business participation.
