Y1DA--PROJECT 675-23-801, BB Improve Lake Baldwin Electrical Electrical Distribution

The Department of Veterans Affairs' Orlando Veterans Affairs Healthcare System is soliciting professional construction services to improve electrical distribution systems at the Lake Baldwin and Lakemont campuses in Orlando, Florida. The project scope includes replacing tie breakers, utility switches, medium voltage transformers, automatic transfer switches, and relocating or undergrounding power lines to address existing electrical deficiencies. Key contract requirements include furnishing all construction services, labor, materials, tools, equipment, and supervision in accordance with 100% design drawings and specifications, with an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of 1.0 or less and performance of at least 15% of the contract work by the contractor's own employees. The government will evaluate proposals using a best value trade-off approach, with non-price factors significantly more important than price, and intends to award without discussions. The request for information period closed on January 20, 2026, and responses are due by February 9, 2026, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time.

This solicitation is 100% set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), with no identified current contractors or incumbents. The estimated project value ranges between $1,000,000.00 and $4,000,000.00, with a firm-fixed-price contract structure. The performance period spans 270 calendar days from issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and certified through the Small Business Administration's VetCert program. Work will be performed at two locations: Lake Baldwin Campus (5201 Raymond Street) and Lakemont Campus (2500 S. Lakemont Avenue), both in Orlando, Florida, with a pre-bid site visit having occurred on January 15, 2026.
