About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 2, is soliciting construction services for installation, testing, and commissioning work to connect Post Indicator Valves (PIVs) to the fire alarm system at Bath VA Medical Center in Bath, New York. The project requires contractors to add system supervision and protection for 22 building-adjacent PIVs through radio-linked control relays, update the fire alarm system in Building 78 (Community Living Center) from a single zone to 11 zones, install voice alarm capabilities, and provide bollard protection for the valves. Key requirements include utilizing NICET-certified technicians with New York State Security and Fire Alarm Systems Installer's licenses, ensuring compliance with NFPA standards (1, 4, 13, 70, 72, and 101) and UFC standards, integrating with the existing Johnson Controls/Honeywell Verifire fire alarm system, and conducting 100% fire alarm system testing with government presence along with a 24-hour battery test prior to final commissioning. The solicitation indicates that evaluation will consider contractor qualifications, technical approach, and compliance with fire safety standards and federal acquisition regulations, including Buy American requirements. The Request for Information (RFI) deadline was December 9, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST, and sealed bids are due on December 22, 2025, at 12:30 PM EST for a virtual bid opening at 1:00 PM EST that same day.
This is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside procurement with an estimated cost range of $250,000 to $500,000, with Johnson Controls identified as the current service contractor for the Bath VA facility. The project encompasses work across multiple buildings on the VA Medical Center campus, with a 180-calendar day performance period from the Notice to Proceed. Bidders must be registered in SAM.gov, verified as SDVOSB or VOSB in VetBiz.gov, and are classified under NAICS code 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors). Offerors are required to submit a bid bond, acknowledge all amendments, provide a Buy American Certification, submit a Limitations on Subcontracting certification, include an EMR rating, and potentially provide financial capability documentation such as a bank letter or Dun and Bradstreet report. The place of performance is Bath VA Medical Center, 76 Veterans Avenue, Bath, New York 14810, with work to be performed at this active patient care facility requiring careful coordination with nursing staff and the Bath Fire Department.

Project No. 528A6-24-612 Connect PIV s to Fire Alarm System
Bath VA Medical Center 76 Veterans Avenue Bath, NY 14810
The general scope of this project is for installation, testing, and commissioning services to add post indicator valve (PIV) system supervision and protection and update the fire zones and add voice alarms in building 78.
Existing Conditions
Post indicator valves (PIV s) previously installed with new station water system currently require manual inspection/supervision and system supervision will be added. These 22 valves are building adjacent and will be linked via radio to control relays in each building s fire alarm system. Most of these buildings are aging brick structures on grounds with many legacy underground systems around them. This makes wire/conduit trenches and internal wiring routing challenging. Changing conditions over time necessitate protecting some valves from equipment and vehicle impacts.
Building 78, the Community Living Center (CLC) is the onsite nursing home at the VA Medical Center (VAMC) located in Bath, New York. The current fire alarm system, 1 zone for building, does not support the current fire practice of 11 zones, 9 of which are living spaces, one for attic, one for crawlspace. This structure has been more recently remodeled, so has relatively easier structural access however is also a working patient nursing facility so work needs to be well planned and coordinated with nursing staff.
Current station fire system uses Johnson Controls/Honeywell Verifire programming and compon
