6530--DOMICILIARY PATIENT FURNISHINGS

This contract involves the procurement and installation of residential room furniture, specifically wardrobes and lighting, as part of a renovation project within VA domiciliary facilities. The lights are required to remain in the rooms as they are integral to the bed configurations. Wardrobes do not have to be built into the alcoves but must be safe, stable, and installed according to manufacturer recommendations, with fastening advised for patient safety. Dimensions of alcoves and wardrobes remain consistent, though awardees are advised to verify physical conditions on-site. Installation is planned in a phased manner, beginning with Pod C, and proceeding sequentially through Pods D, B, and A, with an expected maximum installation time of two weeks per pod, including necessary relocations and stakeholder coordination. There is a loading dock at the site, and use of trucks with lift gates is recommended for ease of delivery. Fabric used must comply with CAL 133 and include a moisture barrier, and trim should match existing wardrobe finishes. The evaluation of proposals will follow a best-value approach weighted heavily toward experience and past performance (50%), technical and management ability (30%), and references (20%). Firms must demonstrate a minimum of five years of relevant experience, provide detailed project scopes, and have managed projects valued at $750,000 or more within federal healthcare interiors. This includes assessment criteria related to design continuity, project scope quality, management efficiency, and budget adherence. The contract includes compliance with FAR clause 52.222-90 concerning nondiscriminatory DEI practices by contractors, with stipulations for reporting and consequences for noncompliance. The solicitation deadline was extended to May 6, 2026, with the contract managed through the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Network Contracting Office in Hampton, VA.
