W099--Reverse Osmosis System Lease with Maintenance and Water Quality Testing Service at Manhattan VA Medical Center.

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 is seeking a small business contractor to provide a Reverse Osmosis System lease with maintenance and water quality testing services for the Manhattan VA Medical Center. The solicitation requires the contractor to remove the existing VA-owned water treatment system, install a new critical water treatment system with built-in redundancy for the Sterile Processing Service department, and perform monthly water quality testing per AAMI ST108 standards. Contractors must maintain specific certifications including Environmental Microbiology Laboratory Accreditation Program (EMLAP) and Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP), and be able to respond to emergency service calls within 4 hours. The evaluation will likely include past performance references, technical capabilities, and pricing. Key dates include a site visit on January 8, 2025, and quote submissions due by January 29, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST.

The contract is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 532490 with a $40 million size standard. The base period runs from February 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, with four one-year option periods and a six-month extension option. The place of performance is located in New York, NY 10010, specifically at the Margaret Cochran Corbin VA Campus. The system must support critical water needs for six sinks, three washer disinfectors, two ultrasonic machines, and three Medivators, with an expected usage of 7-10 cycles per day per washer. The project involves a distribution loop of 150 linear feet and requires a backup system capable of supporting two washer-disinfectors. While specific award value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the services and long-term contract structure suggests a potentially significant procurement for the VA Medical Center.
