Tri-Annual Electrical Inspection James H. Quillen VAMC

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, specifically Veterans Integrated Service Network 9, is seeking electrical inspection services for the James H. Quillen VA Medical Center located in Mountain Home, Tennessee. The pre-solicitation notice indicates a comprehensive tri-annual electrical inspection of low and medium voltage distribution equipment, including transformers, switchgear, switchboards, distribution panels, motor control centers, transfer switches, breakers, relays, emergency power systems, generators, and associated components. Contractors will be required to provide a detailed report documenting all inspection procedures, test results, equipment deficiencies, and recommendations for components not meeting required standards or codes. Potential bidders must be verified in the SBA's VetCert system prior to proposal submission and will be evaluated based on their ability to thoroughly conduct electrical infrastructure assessments. The anticipated Request for Quotation (RFQ) is scheduled to be posted on January 19, 2025, with specific details about evaluation criteria to be further outlined in the full solicitation document.

The contract is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) contractors under NAICS code 238210, which has a size standard of $19 million. While specific award values are not explicitly stated in the pre-solicitation notice, the comprehensive nature of the electrical inspection suggests a significant scope of work. The inspection will cover multiple electrical systems and components across the VA medical center, indicating a complex and detailed service requirement. Contractors should anticipate providing comprehensive documentation and potentially recommending upgrades or repairs based on their findings. The tri-annual nature of the inspection implies a potential multi-year engagement or contract with periodic service requirements, though the exact duration is not specified in the current pre-solicitation notice.
