The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 is seeking a contractor to repair a broken water line and fire sprinkler main at the Omaha VA Medical Center located at 4101 Woolworth Ave, Omaha, NE 68105. The pre-solicitation notice indicates the project will require specialized plumbing and maintenance services within a healthcare facility infrastructure. The contract opportunity is designated under NAICS code 238220 for Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors, with specific focus on hospital maintenance and repair work. Responses to the solicitation (36C26325Q0357) are due by March 6, 2025, at 12:00 PM Central Time, with the contracting officer Derek Fore from the Network 23 Contracting Office in St. Paul, MN serving as the primary point of contact. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the notice, the procurement appears to prioritize technical capability and compliance with contract specifications.

The contract is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBC), which narrows the competitive field to qualified veterans' businesses. The solicitation does not provide specific budget ranges or estimated contract values for the water line and fire sprinkler repair project. The procurement will be managed through the Department of Veterans Affairs, with the work to be performed at the Omaha VA Medical Center, suggesting a localized and targeted maintenance intervention. The notice indicates the solicitation will be archived 60 days after the response date, which provides a clear timeline for potential contractors to prepare and submit their proposals. Given the specialized nature of healthcare facility infrastructure repair, interested contractors will likely need demonstrated expertise in plumbing systems, fire suppression infrastructure, and compliance with medical facility maintenance standards.
