The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 seeks a contractor to replace a chilled water pump at the Boiler Plant of the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in Bronx, New York, under solicitation 36C24227R0009, with offers due November 11, 2026. The procurement is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside, and eligibility requires SAM registration with verified SDVOSB certification.

The firm-fixed-price construction contract requires all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and incidentals to remove the existing pump and motor and install a new pump and motor system with electrical connections, piping insulation, startup, and testing. Work must comply with VA specifications, applicable federal, state, and local codes, and facility safety requirements. Work begins within 30 calendar days of the Notice to Proceed and finishes within 180 calendar days, performed Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM Eastern Time, except as approved by the Contracting Officer. The estimated magnitude of construction is $100,000 to $250,000, and NAICS 236220 carries a $45 million size standard.

A mandatory site visit occurs November 3, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST at the Bronx Engineering office (GC-100). Written questions are due November 4, 2026, at 11:00 AM EST. Offers go to Contracting Officer Akkil Kurian at Akkil.Kurian@va.gov by 12:00 PM Eastern Time on November 11, 2026.

Attached compliance requirements include a Buy American Certificate under FAR 52.225-9 that sets domestic content thresholds for construction materials and requires a price-comparison justification for any foreign material. The attached VAAR 852.219-75 form limits subcontracting: for general construction, the prime cannot pay more than 85% of the government-paid amount to non-certified SDVOSB or VOSB firms. Offers without the signed certification are ineligible for award. A Davis-Bacon wage determination dated August 13, 2026, covers Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens, and Richmond counties. Project communications, submittals, and documentation run through the Autodesk Build Construction Cloud platform at no cost, with training completed within 12 calendar days of access.

Evaluation uses a comparative process under FAR 13.106-2(b)(3) based on technical capability, product description, past performance, and price.
