Introduction

Network Contracting Office 20 (NCO20), supporting Boise VA Medical Center, is seeking potential sources to fulfill an upcoming requirement for Construction Services to install a new HVAC System for the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) Biomed Shop located at its Boise VA Medical Center (BVAMC), Boise, Idaho. This notice is a market research tool and has not been set-aside for any small business category, however, the notice is issued to determine appropriate set-aside categories. Responses to this notice, in conjunction with other Government market research resources, will be used by the contracting officer to determine the applicable socio-economic set-aside for the procurement.

Failure to respond to this notice will not impact consideration of construction services companies (or joint ventures) which otherwise meet set-aside requirements and submit responses to the follow-up public announcement. Once the appropriate set-aside is determined, a separate announcement requesting offers/proposals will be posted on Contract Opportunities in accordance with FAR 36.213-2.

General Project Description and NAICS

Synopsis of required services: This project is for construction services to provide all supervision, labor, materials, and equipment, necessary for installation of a new energy recovery air-handling unit and a VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) heating and cooling system for the VA s Biomed Shop (referred to herein as the Shop ) located in the basement of Building 27 at Boise VA Medical Center (BVAMC) in Boise, Idaho. The project aims to provide a modern, energy-efficient HVAC system to enhance the facility s functionality and reliability. The Shop is approximately 980 sq. ft.

Information Sought

The Government requests a letter of interest (or similar document) with responses to the following:

1. State your business name (as it appears in SAM.gov ), office location where these services will be performed from, SAM UEI number, and socio-economic status of the firm (i.e. verified SDVOSB, WOSB, SB, large business).

2. Provide a brief narrative on your company s experience providing services similar to those described above.

3. What would be the expected make-up of the company s team in terms of socio-economic categories and estimated percentage of work to be completed by your company and each subcontractor?

If the procurement is set-aside for any category of small business, generally fifty percent of more of the work would need to be performed by the contractor or a similarly situated subcontractor in terms of percentage of cost. For instance, if set-aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), 50% or more of the contract would need to be performed by verified SDVOSBs no other small business categories would count towards the percentage. If set-aside for small business, 50% of the contract would be required to be performed by small businesses which would include performance by a verified SDVOSB because they are also a small business. If the procurement is not set-aside and reaches certain dollar thresholds, the Government would negotiate an acceptable subcontracting plan to utilize small business concerns.

4. A brief statement of overall interest in the project and capability of performing the work in conjunction with ongoing projects.

5. Any additional capabilities statements or other documentation that you feel will assist the Government in performing market research and determining the appropriate set-aside.
