The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 is seeking construction services to upgrade Cardiac Catheterization Lab #4 at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. The project involves comprehensive renovation work including general construction, demolition, mechanical installations, electrical work, and specialized medical equipment preparation for a new Canon Alphenix Sky imaging system. Contractors must provide all tools, materials, equipment, labor, and supervision necessary to complete the facility upgrade, which includes installing medical gas systems, lead-lined walls, service booms, HVAC modifications, and new structural support systems. The solicitation requires compliance with Veterans First Contracting Program requirements and verification in the VetCert database. A mandatory site visit was scheduled for July 3, 2025, with the proposal submission deadline extended to August 7, 2025, at 2:00 PM CT.

This opportunity is designated as a total set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses under NAICS code 236220 with a small business size standard of $45 million. The estimated project value ranges between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000, with a firm-fixed-price contract structure and a performance period of 240 calendar days following contract award. The work will be performed at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, specifically in Building 70's third level where the catheterization laboratory is located. The project requires careful phasing to maintain operations in adjacent Cath Lab #3 and involves coordination with Canon for equipment removal and installation, with new equipment delivery anticipated in early 2026. Multiple single-source justifications have been approved for standardized facility components including Johnson Controls building automation systems, Lenel security systems, Cutler-Hammer electrical panels, and various other specialized medical facility equipment to maintain consistency with existing infrastructure.
