The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 21, is soliciting proposals for the modernization of generator systems at the VA Pacific Islands Health Care System in Honolulu, Hawaii. This amendment to solicitation 36C26126R0031 replaces the original specifications with revised requirements issued on April 16, 2026. The project encompasses comprehensive construction and demolition work including selective demolition, asbestos abatement, concrete work, and installation of modern electrical and mechanical equipment with a focus on emergency generator systems and associated infrastructure. Key contract requirements mandate strict compliance with OSHA safety standards, EPA regulations, NFPA codes, and VA-specific requirements including infection control risk assessments, dust control measures, and comprehensive quality control systems. The contractor must establish a full commissioning process coordinated by a Commissioning Agent, provide extensive documentation including as-built drawings and operation manuals, and maintain phased construction to preserve ongoing medical center operations with work limited to 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday. The deadline for proposal submission is May 17, 2026.

This procurement is designated as a set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, restricting eligible bidders to qualified firms holding this certification. The contract falls under NAICS code 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and PSC code Z2DZ (Repair or Alteration of Other Hospital Buildings), with performance to be conducted at the VA Pacific Islands Health Care System in Honolulu, Hawaii. The specifications require phased construction to maintain medical center operations, implementation of sustainable construction practices with at least 50 percent construction waste diversion, and mandatory training for VA personnel on all installed systems. The project demands a dedicated on-site Quality Control System Manager and coordination of utility service interruptions with advance notice to facility operations. Specific award value and timeline details are not disclosed in the amendment notice; however, interested contractors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment prior to the proposal deadline to be eligible for award.
