C1DA--663-25-700 EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades Design Seattle, WA

The Veterans Health Administration Program Contracting Activity Central seeks to award a firm-fixed-price Architect-Engineering (A-E) design contract for EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades at the Seattle VA Medical Center. This is a presolicitation and not a request for proposal; only SF 330 Architect-Engineer Qualifications packages are being solicited. The contract will encompass complete construction document development, including working drawings, specifications, reports, construction period services, and commissioning. The project is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns, with a NAICS code of 541330 and an annual small business size standard of $25.5 million. The anticipated award date is August 2025, with a 365-day design completion period following the Notice of Award. The estimated construction magnitude is between $20 million and $50 million. Key evaluation criteria include professional qualifications, specialized relevant experience, technical competence, capacity to perform the work on schedule, past performance, and knowledge of the local Seattle area. The process prioritizes SF 330 submissions that demonstrate personnel licensing, experience in EHRM-related infrastructure upgrades, project management, quality control, sustainable design expertise, and familiarity with VA specifications. Only the most highly qualified firms will be invited for discussions and fee proposal negotiation; the highest rated firm after evaluation will receive the solicitation for price negotiations. Submissions are due by April 15, 2025, require strict compliance with formatting and content requirements, and late or incomplete submissions will not be considered. All applicants must be SBA-certified SDVOSBs and meet the NAICS code requirement at the time of submission and award. The government reserves the right not to award a contract following this announcement and will not reimburse any costs associated with responses.
