The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 15 in Leavenworth, Kansas is soliciting proposals for renovation of the Ambassador Suite and Main Lobby in Building 1 for Veterans Health Administration VISN 15, with proposals due November 12, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CST. The procurement is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside. Amendment 004 moved the deadline from November 4, 2026, and Amendment 005 confirms November 12.

Work is performed at the John Cochran Division of the St. Louis VA Medical Center in St. Louis, Missouri 63108. Scope covers selective demolition and cosmetic renovation of approximately 3,562 square feet of Ambassador Suite and 2,308 square feet of Main Lobby, with new vestibules and accessibility ramps. The survey identified asbestos-containing materials, including about 300 square feet of floor backing and 65 linear feet of pipe insulation. Required personnel include a quality control manager with at least five years' experience and three similar projects, a site safety and health officer (the superintendent may fill this role), and a commissioning agent. Phased construction must keep the facility operating 24/7, with material deliveries completed by 7:30 a.m. and utility interruptions requiring 21 days' written notice.

The performance period is 330 days after notice to proceed. The pre-bid outline gives an estimated cost range of $1.0 million to $5.0 million. Bid bonds equal 20% of the bid and must accompany proposals, and payment and performance bonds equal 100% of contract value after award. State and local sales or use taxes on materials must be included in the bid price. Offerors must submit a self-performed versus subcontracted work calculation, using the revised template attached to Amendment 001, along with the revised VAAR 852.219-75 notice. Davis-Bacon and Buy American Act requirements apply.

Per the pre-bid outline, award uses Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation without discussions, though the government reserves the right to hold discussions.
