The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 8 in Gainesville, Florida, is soliciting proposals for the furnishing and installation of twelve commercial off-the-shelf automatic bi-fold sliding door assemblies at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville, FL. The solicitation, numbered 36C24826Q1004, is issued as a firm-fixed-price contract under the NAICS code 332321, restricted to small business concerns including HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, women-owned, and economically disadvantaged women-owned small businesses. The doors must meet specific salient characteristics including compatibility with 97” x 96” hallway openings, integrated obstacle detection, auto-lock functionality, durable healthcare-appropriate materials, and operation consistent with the Record USA Model 4500 or an equal product without customization. Performance is limited to installation, calibration, and functional testing during standard business hours; contractors are prohibited from modifying building systems, performing electrical work, or integrating with access control systems. All work must be completed at the delivery site with risk of loss transferring to the government upon delivery. The evaluation process prioritizes technical capability and delivery schedule over price, employing a best-value trade-off approach rather than lowest-price technically acceptable. Proposals must include a complete Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE Code, affirmative certifications regarding compliance with federal supply chain security requirements, and disclosures of any use of prohibited telecommunications equipment or applications such as TikTok, Huawei, or ZTE. Contractors must also adhere to sustainable product standards and certify they have no affiliations with sanctioned entities like the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Payment will be processed electronically via EFT through the VA’s designated portal in arrears after acceptance, and all invoices must comply with VAAR Clause 852.232-72. The response deadline is August 11, 2026, at 8:30 PM EDT, with proposals to be submitted to the NCO 8 office address. No Contracting Officer’s Representative has been designated; all communications must be directed to the primary point of contact, Contracting Officer Scott Brickey. Compliance with numerous FAR clauses is required, including those addressing whistleblower rights, trafficking in persons, equal opportunity, Buy American provisions, and cybersecurity prohibitions, many of which are modified with deviations to align with VA-specific policies.
