N065--Installation of OR and Prosthetics Automatic Door Closures

The contract involves the installation of automatic door closure systems at the East Orange VA Medical Center in New Jersey, specifically on an Operating Room door in Building 1, Floor 2, C Wing, and a Prosthetics main entryway door in Building 1, Floor A, Room A-700. The work requires the installation of two ED100 automatic door operators—one configured as a pair for the OR and one single unit for the Prosthetics door—along with all associated labor, hardware, and proprietary components, including 4"×6" header surface applications and wave plates. All personnel must hold current AAADM Certification as Swing/Slide/Fold Automatic Pedestrian Door Inspectors, and the work must be performed outside normal business hours (8:00 AM to 4:30 PM EST), excluding Sundays and federal holidays. Completion is required within 14 calendar days of contract award, with a detailed written work report submitted within five days of completion outlining all performed tasks, parts used, equipment functionality, and any maintenance recommendations. Unauthorized modifications or substitutions are prohibited without explicit written approval from the Contracting Officer. The requirement is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, with strict limitations on subcontracting, ensuring no more than 50% of the contract value is performed by subcontractors. Compliance with the Service Contract Act wage determinations, paid sick leave requirements under Executive Order 13706, affirmative action obligations for veterans and individuals with disabilities, and prohibitions against retaliating against whistleblowers or mandating confidentiality agreements that obstruct government oversight are all mandatory. The contractor must be registered in SAM.gov with a valid Unique Entity Identifier and confirm eligibility as an SDVOSB, and submissions must be sent via email to the Contract Specialist by the deadline of May 4, 2026, with a technical capability statement limited to ten pages. Evaluation will be based on a trade-off assessment considering technical capability, past performance, and price, with no fixed scoring system, allowing the government to select the most advantageous offer regardless of being the lowest-priced. There are no specified packaging, labeling, or preservation requirements, and the contract does not include an estimated value or detailed pricing structure. The place of performance is clearly defined as the East Orange VA Medical Center, with contract oversight managed by the Network Contracting Office 2 in Albany, NY, and direct coordination handled by the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer listed in the documentation.
