The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contracting Office 15 in Leavenworth, Kansas, has awarded a sole-source contract to BALLARD CLC, INC. for the design and implementation of a cohesive wayfinding system in Building 1 located in Saint Louis, Missouri. The contract, identified by award number 36C25526C0039 and solicitation number 36C25526R0045, was awarded under the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSBC) set-aside program, confirming the awardee’s eligibility as a verified SDVOSB. The contract value is precisely $540,158.76, with an award date of April 30, 2026, and the NAICS code 541310 classifies the work as architectural and engineering services. The primary performance location is Saint Louis, Missouri, with the delivery of wayfinding signage, directional graphics, and likely digital navigation elements expected to enhance accessibility and navigation throughout the facility. The Contracting Officer, Gislaine Dorvil, is the designated point of contact, providing email and phone details for inquiries, but no Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR) is identified. While no detailed period of performance, delivery schedule, or inspection and acceptance criteria are specified, the scope aligns with federal design standards such as ADA compliance and VA-specific guidelines, though not formally cited. The payment office is located in Leavenworth, Kansas, but no remittance instructions, invoicing system, or accounting data are available. No attachments, special contract requirements beyond the SDVOSBC set-aside, security clearances, key personnel mandates, option periods, or organizational conflict of interest provisions are documented. The contract was issued without competitive bidding under the SDVOSBC sole-source authority, and while the award notice indicates official completion, critical technical specifications, packaging requirements, evaluation factors, and submission instructions remain unspecified in the available data.
