Triennial Electrical Testing and Maintenance

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 (VISN 15) is conducting a Sources Sought market research effort for Triennial Electrical Testing at the Wichita VA Medical Center. The procurement focuses on electrical testing and maintenance services for various electrical equipment, targeting potential small business contractors in the Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing sector. Interested contractors must submit a comprehensive 10-page capabilities statement addressing company details, bidding interest, past performance, small business classification, joint venture information, and bonding capabilities. The submission deadline is April 1, 2025, at 11:00 AM Central Standard Time, with responses required to be emailed directly to Hubert "Warren" Scipio. The government will use the submitted information to analyze and determine the most appropriate acquisition strategy for a future solicitation, with no immediate contract award anticipated from this sources sought notice.

This sources sought notice does not currently include a specific set-aside designation, though it appears to be primarily targeting small business participation. The procurement is specifically coded under NAICS category 335313 for Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing and PSC category H261 for Electric Wire and Power Distribution Equipment Testing. While no specific award value is mentioned, the notice indicates this will be for triennial electrical testing services at the medical center. The market research process will help the VA evaluate industry capabilities and potentially structure a future solicitation that meets their electrical testing and maintenance requirements. Contractors should note that this is a pure market research effort, and submitting a capabilities statement does not guarantee future contract opportunities but will help inform the government's procurement approach.
