West Haven CT VAMC Variable Frequency Drives Installation

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 is conducting market research to identify qualified contractors for the installation of new Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) at the West Haven CT VAMC. This procurement falls under NAICS code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and seeks vendors capable of installing VFDs for multiple HVAC units including supply fans, air handlers, roof top units, and ventilation fans with specifications ranging from 1.5 to 10 HP across various voltages and amperage requirements. Key contractor responsibilities include providing all labor, materials, tools, permits, coordinating with VA Facility Management Services, ensuring electrical compatibility, managing control and Building Management System connections, and complying with VA privacy and security policies. Interested vendors must submit their responses by August 22, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST via email to david.valenzuela2@va.gov with submissions limited to a maximum of 8 pages in Microsoft Word or PDF format. The government will use this market research to determine the appropriate procurement strategy and identify qualified sources for the eventual solicitation.

This opportunity currently has no set-aside designation, though the procurement may ultimately be set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), or small businesses depending on the responses received during this market research phase. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the notice, and no specific contract values or budget ranges are disclosed at this pre-solicitation stage. The scope involves multiple HVAC units requiring VFD installations across different specifications, though exact quantities of equipment are not specified in the sources sought notice. The timeline for actual contract performance has not been established, as this notice is purely for market research purposes to inform the government's procurement strategy. No potential incumbents are mentioned, suggesting this may be a new requirement or a significant modification to existing HVAC systems at the West Haven facility.
