The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 is seeking electrical contractors to correct electrical Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) deficiencies at the Portland VA Medical Center. The comprehensive project involves replacing medium voltage switchgear, upgrading circuit breakers and electrical distribution equipment, installing active harmonic filters, replacing emergency generator control panels, and performing ground resistance testing across multiple buildings including Buildings 6, 16, 41, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, and 108. The work includes addressing arc-flash hazard risks identified in a Wiley-Wilson assessment and requires extensive coordination with ongoing medical center operations. Proposals will be evaluated using a best value tradeoff approach, with technical experience being the most important factor, followed by past performance, with price being the least significant factor. The solicitation deadline has been extended to August 26, 2025, at 3:00 PM PDT, with a mandatory site visit scheduled for July 29, 2025, and past performance questionnaires due August 18, 2025.

This opportunity is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) under NAICS code 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors). The project value is estimated between $10-20 million and requires contractors to demonstrate experience with similar hospital electrical infrastructure projects completed within the last five years, with a minimum contract value of $10 million. The performance period is 545 days, indicating a substantial long-term electrical infrastructure upgrade project. Work will be performed at the VA Portland Health Care System campus in Portland, Oregon, with specific focus on correcting electrical deficiencies across the multi-building medical facility complex. The project includes detailed electrical drawings, specifications, and fire life safety plans covering thousands of square feet across multiple buildings and parking structures.
