Solicitation- Interior Wayfinding Directional Signage

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 seeks removal and installation of interior directional signage at the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Philadelphia, with proposals due August 4, 2026 at 4:00 PM EST. This is a total Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to SDVOSB-certified firms.

Place of performance is Philadelphia, PA 19104. The project encompasses approximately 650 existing interior signs across the North and South buildings, with work organized across multiple floors phased over an expected nine-month delivery and installation period. The contractor must comply with ADA accessibility guidelines, ASTM standards, MUTCD, NFPA, and VA design standards, and will manage the project through SignAgent software, which the contractor will own upon completion. Deliverables include 40 line items spanning various sign types—directional, overhead, flag-mounted, ceiling-mounted, maps, floor decals, and graphics—plus wall coverings and removal and installation services. The contractor must provide a minimum five-year warranty against defects and physical sign samples (three types) prior to bid submission to the Philadelphia address.

Past performance requirements mandate five similar healthcare facility wayfinding projects, with four being VA or Military Hospitals, including project contacts, contract numbers, and dollar amounts. The NAICS code is 339950, Sign Manufacturing, with a 500-employee small business size standard. Evaluation uses a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology. Offerors must be certified SDVOSBs and comply with limitations on subcontracting, paying no more than 50 percent of contract value to non-certified SDVOSB firms, excluding material costs.

Amendment 0002 (July 23) extended the deadline to August 4 and provided floor plan attachments. Amendment 0003 (July 27) clarified pricing guidance for three contract line items (CLINs 0034, 0035, 0036) related to MRI Zone signage, 9×9 inch signs, and inserts, permitting offerors to use standard ADA-compliant sign systems matching specified materials, colors, and construction. Amendment 0001 (July 2) posted contractor questions and answers addressing project phasing, sign specifications, material requirements, and installation procedures.
