S119--FY 2026 Steam Utility Syracuse VAMC

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office 2 has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Procurement for steam utility services at the Syracuse VA Medical Center in New York. The VA intends to award a firm-fixed price contract to Syracuse Energy Concessionaire, LLC for the supply and transportation of steam utility to the medical center. This procurement falls under NAICS code 221330 for Steam and Air-Conditioning Supply and utilizes the authority of FAR 6.302-1 "Only One Responsible Source" for sole source contracting. The notice explicitly states that it is not a request for competitive quotations, as the government intends to solicit from only one source. The contracting office is located at 800 Irving Avenue, Syracuse, New York 13210.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the VA's intent to proceed with a sole source award while providing an opportunity for other responsible sources to express interest and demonstrate their capabilities. Interested contractors must submit their capability information and interest via email to julie.mccann@va.gov by 3:00 PM EST on Monday, September 22, 2025. The VA will consider the information received solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement instead of the planned sole source award. There are no specific eligibility criteria outlined beyond being a "responsible source" capable of meeting the steam utility supply and transportation requirements. The steam utility services are essential for the operation of the Syracuse VA Medical Center, supporting the healthcare mission of the Veterans Health Administration's Network 2.
