The procurement is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside, and offers without the completed, signed VAAR 852.219-75 limitations on subcontracting certification are deemed ineligible for evaluation and award. The certification limits payments to non-SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractors to 85% of the government payment amount.

Work is performed at Boise VA Medical Center, 500 W. Fort Street, Boise, Idaho, in Building 85, first floor. The project renovates 10,700 square feet and expands the emergency department from 5,700 to 8,900 square feet, with adjacent admitting, corridor, and waiting functions occupying an additional 1,800 square feet. The period of performance is 443 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, executed in two phases to maintain 24/7 emergency operations. The project magnitude is between $10 million and $20 million under NAICS 236220, with a $45 million size standard and PSC Y1DA.

Distinctive requirements include a Class IV Infection Control Risk Assessment protocol with HVAC isolation and negative-pressure barriers, a hydraulically calculated NFPA 13 wet-pipe sprinkler design, and a critical path method schedule due within 10 calendar days of Notice to Proceed. Offerors must demonstrate ten years of commercial sprinkler and plumbing installation experience and maintain service organizations within 100 miles capable of four-hour emergency response. Personnel must hold OSHA 10-hour and 30-hour certifications, and personnel vetting is commensurate with risk and sensitivity levels. Davis-Bacon wage determination ID20260104 applies, and Buy American requirements govern construction materials.
