RFP EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades Tuskegee Construction

The Department of Veterans Affairs is requesting proposals for EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades construction at Tuskegee VA Medical Center in Tuskegee, Alabama under a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside, with proposals due May 21, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST. SDVOSB certification by the U.S. Small Business Administration is required at both proposal submission and time of award. This is a decision-flipping eligibility constraint that excludes all non-certified firms.

The scope encompasses general construction and comprehensive infrastructure upgrades across the campus: electrical, bonding, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), building management system interfaces, HVAC, communication, physical security, and fiber infrastructure backbone. Work also includes data center wide-area network (WAN) updates, hazardous material abatement, and modifications to roads, walks, grading, drainage, and existing utilities. The contract period runs 911 calendar days from Notice to Proceed.

The estimated project value ranges from $20 million to $50 million under NAICS Code 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). Award is based on best value with past performance weighted as significantly more important than price. Offerors must demonstrate relevant past performance on similar projects exceeding $20 million completed within six years in active healthcare settings and submit a lump-sum firm fixed price for Line Item 0001 in whole dollar values. A bid guarantee on Standard Form 24 in the amount of 20 percent of the proposal price but not to exceed $3 million is required; performance and payment bonds on Standard Forms 25 and 25A are required upon award.

Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at proposal submission and award and possess a current VETS-4212 report. Construction wage rate requirements and Buy American provisions for construction materials apply. Technical questions are due May 6, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET. A formal site visit is scheduled as the only opportunity to visit the project location. A preconstruction conference is mandatory following award. Proposals must be submitted in three volumes—Past Performance, Price, and Administrative—via email.
