Z1DA--Replace AHU-05 in B406 and Add Humidification to B455 676-23-004

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 is seeking contractors to replace Air Handling Unit (AHU-05) in Building 406 and add humidification systems to Building 455 at the Tomah VA Medical Center in Wisconsin. This HVAC construction and maintenance project falls under the Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors NAICS classification and requires compliance with prevailing wage determinations for building construction in Wisconsin. The solicitation has undergone multiple amendments, with the most recent extending the bid submission deadline to August 19, 2025, at 9:00 AM CDT, followed by a virtual bid opening at 12:00 PM via Microsoft Teams. Bidders must submit proposals electronically to specified VA email addresses and acknowledge all amendments including updated wage determinations and pre-bid RFI responses. The project requires a full-time Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) and involves complex coordination for equipment shutdowns and installations within an active healthcare facility.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to all qualified contractors. Pre-bid site visits were conducted on June 23-24, 2025, with multiple companies attending including US Vet General Contracting, Nagler Corp, and IKM Building Solutions, though no incumbent contractor is specifically identified. The solicitation documents include detailed specifications, drawings, and wage determinations but do not specify the contract value or budget range. Work will be performed at the Tomah VA Medical Center in Tomah, Wisconsin, with the VA anticipating award within 120 days of the bid due date. Construction start is expected to be dependent on product lead times and the contractor's critical schedule, with potential material procurement delays being a consideration for project timeline management.
