The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center sought a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) to construct an expansion of the Community Living Center at the Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center in Richmond, Virginia. The project required all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and expertise to perform construction work according to comprehensive specifications and technical drawings, with strict compliance with Davis-Bacon wage determinations for Henrico County and federal executive order minimum wage requirements. Key contract requirements included submitting performance and payment bonds, adhering to subcontracting limitations (limiting payments to non-certified veteran-owned firms to no more than 85% of the government-paid amount), utilizing specified web-based project management software such as Procore or Oracle Primavera Submittal Exchange, and maintaining compliance with ADA/ANSI accessibility standards as outlined in detailed technical specifications. The solicitation was evaluated on a lowest responsive bid basis from certified SDVOSBs, with the VA retaining the ability to apply successive bid deduct alternates if the base bid exceeded available funding. The initial proposal deadline was September 8, 2025, which was subsequently extended to September 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET, with bid opening conducted via conference call.

This solicitation was exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses with no identified incumbent contractors. The project value was estimated between $10-20 million under NAICS code 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and PSC code Y1DA (Construction of Hospitals and Infirmaries). The construction project required a base bid period of 548 calendar days, with seven potential bid deduct alternates available to adjust scope and timeline based on funding constraints. The place of performance was Richmond, Virginia 23249, specifically at the Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center located at 1201 Broad Rock Blvd. However, the solicitation was cancelled effective December 12, 2025, by Amendment 0005 due to budget funding constraints, with the contracting officer noting that no award could be made.
