Replace OR AHU controllers and improve ductwork

The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 21 is seeking construction services to replace the operating room suite air handling unit (OR AHU) controllers and repair ductwork at the VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System located at 975 Kirman Avenue in Reno, Nevada. This firm-fixed-price construction contract will be awarded based on the most advantageous offer to the government, with all work to be performed according to design documents and a detailed Statement of Work that will be provided with the solicitation. Interested contractors must maintain an active vendor record in SAM.gov, qualify as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business under NAICS code 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), and have no federal exclusions such as delinquent debt or debarment. The solicitation number 36C26125R0060 is scheduled for release on or around June 20, 2025, with offers due no earlier than 30 days after issuance. After the solicitation is released, all inquiries must be submitted via email to the contract specialist Alison Weinstein at alison.weinstein@va.gov, as no oral questions will be accepted.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses under NAICS code 236220, which has a small business size standard of $45 million. No incumbent contractor information is provided in the pre-solicitation notice. The estimated construction value falls between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000, representing a significant infrastructure improvement project for the VA medical facility. The government intends to award a single contract to one contractor for the complete scope of work. All solicitation documents will be made available electronically through SAM.gov once the formal solicitation is issued. The contract structure as a firm-fixed-price arrangement places performance risk on the contractor while providing cost certainty for the government.
