Z1DA-- Renovate OR for Hybrid Installation

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 is soliciting proposals for the renovation of operating rooms for hybrid installation at the VA Northern California Health System in Mather, California. The project involves comprehensive renovation and modernization of approximately 12,500 square feet of surgical suite space on the second floor of Building 700, including the renovation of four existing operating rooms and expansion to include a fifth hybrid OR, along with coordination and setup of three temporary surgical trailers to serve as interim facilities during construction. Key contract requirements include experience managing temporary trailers in 24-hour surgical environments, compliance with infection control risk assessment standards, coordination of complex MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) systems, and installation of specified brand-name or equivalent equipment including SLD Technology modular ceiling systems, Stryker surgical booms, Johnson Controls HVAC controls, Secutron fire alarm systems, and Swiss Log pneumatic tube systems. The government will evaluate proposals using a best-value tradeoff approach, with technical and management factors weighted as most important, followed by past performance, and then price. Critical deadlines include an RFI due date of January 15, 2026, and a final proposal submission deadline of February 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM Pacific Time with no further extensions permitted; site visits were held on December 11, 2025, and February 4, 2026.

This solicitation is a 100 percent set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), with an estimated contract value between $10 million and $20 million, and includes a 500-day (potentially extendable to 750 calendar days) period of performance to accommodate long-lead items and the VA's 60-day minimum relocation period to temporary trailers. Subcontracting limitations apply under VA regulations, with restrictions on the percentage of contract amount that may be paid to non-VOSB or non-SDVOSB entities. The contractor must provide separate pricing for both the trailer scope and the renovation scope, demonstrate key personnel with experience managing projects of $10 to $20 million in value within the past ten years, maintain an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of 1.0 or less, and comply with prevailing wage requirements under the Davis-Bacon Act using California wage determination CA20260007 effective January 23, 2026. The work will be performed at the VA Northern California Health System located at 10535 Hospital Way, Mather, California 95655, specifically in Building 650 and Building 700, with work sequencing requiring temporary trailer setup and operational commissioning prior to initiation of the second-floor OR renovation activities.
