The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 is soliciting refurbishment of multiple air handling units (AHU-4, AHU-24, AHU-39, AHU-40, and AHU-41) at its Nashville, Tennessee medical center facility, with proposals due May 18, 2026. The procurement is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside.

Place of performance is Nashville, Tennessee. The scope includes replacing chilled water coils, installing new severe duty IEEE 841 fan motors at 480-V with Danfoss variable frequency drives, integrating UV lighting systems compliant with VA Master Specification 23 40 00 operating at 254 nm, and installing pipe insulation per VA Master Specification 23 07 11. The period of performance begins July 15, 2026. The contract is firm fixed price with no economic price adjustment clause, no sales tax exemption, and no stored materials payment provision.

Contractor must provide a licensed engineer-stamped certification for temporary HVAC equipment roof loading and coordinate with the Siemens Building Automation System through a VA-approved vendor. A designated superintendent must be provided by the prime contractor; the government reserves the right to request a separate Site Safety and Health Officer if superintendent performance is inadequate. Test and Balance work requires AABC or NEBB certification with VA presence, scheduled one week in advance. The contractor bears sole responsibility for fire watch during fire alarm system impairments exceeding four hours and must use a submittal platform such as Procore rather than email submissions. Chilled water coils may be two-piece where space-constrained. Work must maintain full normal HVAC service during outages. Amendment P00003 extended the proposal deadline to May 18 and provides consolidated questions and answers addressing vendor inquiries.
