The contract requires on-site inspections at VA facilities in Gainesville and Lake City, Florida, to identify, document, and catalog ASTM A307 carbon steel bolts within steam and hot water piping systems. The work will be performed using visual inspection techniques, photography, and physical tagging to ensure accurate records of bolt locations, conditions, and specifications. All data collected must be systematically cataloged to support future maintenance, replacement, or safety assessments of critical piping components. The effort is focused exclusively on carbon steel bolts of this specific standard, targeting infrastructure integrity within federal healthcare facilities. This is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set Aside subcontract under NAICS code 541330, administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs through the 248-NETWORK Contract Office 8.

The scope demands precision and thorough documentation, with no flexibility in the use of approved methods or materials, and requires strict adherence to industry standards for bolt identification and data capture. The subcontract is tailored to leverage the expertise of a qualified service-disabled veteran-owned small business to fulfill the VA's infrastructure assessment needs.
