The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA) is seeking a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) to perform comprehensive HVAC system repairs and replacements at the John Cochran VA Medical Center in St. Louis, Missouri. The project involves updating HVAC systems within Sterile Processing System's Reusable Medical Equipment storage rooms to comply with VHA HVAC Design Criteria and VHA Directive 1116.2. Specific contract requirements include disconnecting and removing existing HVAC components, reinstalling new components, maintaining HVAC functionality in occupied spaces, abating hazardous materials, and preparing spaces for patient care. Evaluation criteria will focus on contractors' capability statements, which must be 10 pages long and include company information, past performance, CVE certification, bonding capability, and self-performance capabilities. The response deadline is February 6, 2025, at 3:00 PM Central Time, with contractors required to be registered in SAM.gov and the SBA registry.

The contract is specifically set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses under NAICS code 236220, with a size standard of $45 million. The project has an estimated contract value between $1-5 million and a performance period of 550 calendar days. Prime contractors are restricted from subcontracting more than 85% of the contract value (excluding materials) to non-similarly situated subcontractors. The work will be concentrated in Building 1 of the medical center, with most storage rooms being temporarily vacated during construction to facilitate the HVAC system upgrades. Contractors will be working from a comprehensive set of drawings and specifications developed by an Architectural-Engineering firm, which outline the specific requirements and scope of the HVAC system improvements.
