Boland Campus in Massachusetts. This Special Notice indicates the VA's intent to award a contract on a sole source basis, which is not a formal solicitation but rather a notice of intent published in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b) and FAR Part 5.101(a). The procurement falls under NAICS code 811319 and Product Service Code Z1DA, which covers maintenance of hospitals and infirmaries. Interested parties may contact the Contracting Officer, Ian Herrick, via email at Ian.Herrick@va.gov to express interest in the procurement. The Special Notice indicates that this is an emergency requirement, reflecting the urgent nature of the heat restoration work needed at the facility.

The primary objective of this procurement is to restore heating capabilities at the Community Living Center on the Edward P. Boland Campus to address an emergency operational need. The response deadline for interested parties is December 5, 2025, at 10:00 Eastern Time, providing a compressed timeframe consistent with the emergency nature of the requirement. While the VA has announced its intent to sole source this contract, the determination to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received to this notice remains solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. The notice does not specify particular eligibility criteria but invites any interested parties to contact the Contracting Officer for further information regarding the emergency repair requirement. This mechanism allows the VA to consider broader market responses while maintaining the flexibility to proceed with a non-competitive award if deemed appropriate.
