The contract is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and requires contractors to be registered in SAM and certified in SBA VetCert. The solicitation will be awarded using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process, with proposals evaluated across seven technical factors including past performance, construction experience, subcontractor qualifications, key personnel, safety plan, and infection control plan. Proposals were originally due August 8, 2025, but have been extended to August 13, 2025, at 2:00 PM CDT, with a pre-proposal meeting having been held on July 11, 2025.

This construction contract has an estimated value between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000 and falls under NAICS code 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) with a small business size standard of $45 million. The project requires a 540-calendar day performance period and involves complex renovation work in an active hospital environment, necessitating strict infection control protocols and phased construction to minimize disruption to ongoing medical operations. Work will be performed at the Harry S. Truman Medical Center located at 800 Hospital Drive in Columbia, Missouri, spanning basement through sixth floors of the facility. The project includes three bid items with deduct alternatives, allowing flexibility in the scope of air handling unit replacements and associated utilities. Critical aspects of the work include maintaining hospital operations during construction, adhering to VA infection control requirements, and completing certain work during unoccupied hours to ensure patient and staff safety.
