Z1DA--NRM CONST - 528A7-18-707 Replace Boiler Stack Rome CBOC

The Syracuse VA Medical Center, operating under the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 2, is seeking construction services to replace three institutional boiler exhaust stacks at the Rome Community Based Outpatient Clinic in Rome, New York. The scope of work includes demolition of existing boiler exhaust stacks, abatement of asbestos and other hazardous materials, and installation of three new replacement exhaust stacks with supporting structural steel tower and foundation. The general contractor must demonstrate experience and expertise in demolition and construction of institutional boiler exhaust stacks and structural steel work, with structural steel fabrication requiring third-party New York State special inspection during construction. This is a Request for Information (RFI) and Sources Sought notice, not a formal solicitation, and the government will evaluate capability statements submitted by interested contractors to determine if sufficient interest exists to warrant a formal solicitation. All written inquiries and capability statements must be submitted to Michael.Spivack@va.gov by March 17, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time, with phone calls not accepted.

This opportunity carries no small business set-aside designation, and all responsible sources are eligible to submit capability statements. No incumbent contractor or current contract information is identified in the pre-solicitation notice. The NAICS code assigned is 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) with a size standard of $19 million, establishing the threshold for small business classification for this procurement. The notice does not provide a specific award value or detailed budget range, nor does it establish a firm timeline for project completion; however, the government will post a formal solicitation on SAM.gov if sufficient contractor interest is demonstrated through the sources sought process. If awarded, this contract will represent federal construction work at a Veterans Affairs medical facility involving multiple specialized disciplines including demolition, hazardous materials abatement, and structural steel fabrication.
