The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 is seeking construction services to renovate the Primary Care area at the VA Medical Center in Chillicothe, Ohio. This comprehensive renovation project involves transforming approximately 19,084 square feet of existing Primary Care Department and clinical addition shell space on the first floor of Building 31 to meet Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) guidelines. The project scope includes demolition of existing facilities, buildout of clinic spaces with on-stage/off-stage corridors, co-located teamwork areas, standard exam and consult rooms, a new lobby and reception area, installation of two elevators, security system upgrades, and addition of redundant chillers. The project also involves specialized asbestos abatement work for approximately 10 square feet of material containing 5% chrysotile asbestos. The solicitation requires contractors to be classified under NAICS code 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) with a size standard of $45 million, and bids are due by July 17, 2025, at 11:00 AM EDT, with a site visit scheduled for June 18, 2025.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), with the total project magnitude estimated between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000. The solicitation includes a base bid and two alternates that progressively reduce the scope of chiller-related work, allowing the VA to award based on available funding constraints. The project requires a 910-calendar day performance period from Notice to Proceed, with work to be performed at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center in Chillicothe, Ohio. The renovation must maintain uninterrupted operations through a multiphase approach, and contractors must comply with specific brand-name requirements for various systems including American Standard plumbing fixtures, AMAG access control systems, ExacqVision video surveillance, and Simplex fire detection equipment. All contractors must be registered and verified on SAM.gov and the SBA's verification platform to be eligible for award.
