About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 is conducting a sources sought notice to determine availability of service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) firms for a potential SDVOSB set-aside related to Construction Services Project 589-24-450, with responses due by September 16, 2026. This is a market research tool for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to issue a solicitation or award a contract.

The project scope covers upgrade of Building 26 (Valor Tower) at Karl VA, involving replacement of two existing 300-ton air-cooled chillers with three 250-ton air-cooled chillers, increasing total chiller capacity from 600 tons to 750 tons, and upgrading the HVAC infrastructure to support the new capacity. The project also includes replacement of emergency generator 26B with appropriately sized units that accommodate both existing emergency electrical load and additional load for the new chillers, with redundancy for both existing and additional emergency electrical load. The contractor must provide temporary chiller and emergency power equipment to maintain 100% of clinical services for ICUs, Sterile Processing, and Operating Rooms during permanent equipment replacement. The work is classified under NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and PSC Z2DA (Repair or Alteration of Hospitals and Infirmaries). A formal Request for Proposal is expected to follow after this sources sought period concludes.
