The Department of Veterans Affairs is proposing a sole-source procurement for secondary water treatment services at the Loch Raven and Baltimore VA Medical Centers under contract number 36C24526Q0755, with a response deadline of August 11, 2026. The agency intends to award the contract exclusively to Barclay Water Management, Inc., due to the proprietary nature of their iChlor® system, which requires continuous remote monitoring, operation by state-licensed personnel, and direct maintenance by Barclay employees. Barclay maintains full control over the system because it is legally and operationally responsible for disinfection output, EPA reporting, and regulatory compliance, with their name formally listed on the equipment. The company operates the system as a complete turn-key solution, ensuring safety and performance without delegation to third parties. This approach is non-negotiable as Barclay’s reputation and liability are directly tied to the system’s reliability. The contract falls under NAICS code 221310 for water treatment and is managed by the VA’s Network Contract Office 5 in Linthicum, Maryland, with William Chris Galletta designated as the primary point of contact for procurement inquiries.

VA Maryland Healthcare Baltimore, MD 21201 RE: B533--iChlor Secondary Water Treatment (36C24524Q0754) Intent to Sole Source - Barclay Water Management iChlor®
Dear Government, Barclay Water Management, Inc. 55 Chapel Street Suite 300 Newton, MA 02458 Tel: 617-926-3400 www.barclaywater.com
In the interests of your Facility and its patients, Barclay Water Management maintains control of our iChlor® systems and does not offer them through distribution or secondary vendors. The following are the main reason that we maintain control of our iChlor® systems: iChlor® Systems require continuous remote monitoring and a State licensed operator that is provided by Barclay Water Management. Barclay s name is listed on the equipment providing the disinfectant to the Facility, which then reports to the EPA. iChlor® is a propriety system to Barclay Water Management. All work is performed by direct-hire Barclay Water Management employees, including manufacturers of iChlor®. Barclay is responsible for the operation, maintenance, permit compliance of the unit, making it a complete turn-key solution. For the reasons stated above we do not give control access of the iChlor® unit to anyone outside of Barclay. Please know we take safety very seriously, as our name and reputation are tied to the unit s performance. If you require additional information or assistance, please feel free to contact me at (540) 809-4966 or via email at mike.brown@barclaywater.com.
Respectfully,
Mike Brown Senior Area Manager

Z--IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR NATL WEATHER SVC IN TEXAS
Solicitation # 1305M326Q0268
This contract solicits non-personal services for the complete removal and replacement of existing irrigation systems and associated landscape drainage repairs at three National Weather Service facilities in Texas—Corpus Christi, Midland, and New Braunfels. The requirement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 221310 with a size standard of $41.0 million, and no incumbent exists, making this a new acquisition. The scope encompasses turnkey delivery of all labor, supervision, equipment, materials, engineering, and design necessary to install state-of-the-art irrigation systems featuring rain sensors, pressure-regulating heads, backflow preventors, and improved drainage, along with landscape restoration such as topsoil, sod, rock mulch, and edging specific to each site. Work must comply with OSHA, EPA, NEC, NFPA, and all federal, state, and local codes, and contractors are expected to deliver fully operational systems within 120 days of award, with an estimated award date of August 17, 2026. Site visits are strongly recommended to verify conditions and resolve document discrepancies, and failure to inspect does not excuse performance issues post-award. The solicitation, issued as an RFQ under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Part 12, utilizes the SF 18 form or company letterhead for pricing and requires full compliance with contract clauses including FAR 52.222-41 (Service Contract Labor Standards), FAR 52.222-62 (Paid Sick Leave), and RFO 52.212-4 (Commercial Terms with JAN 2026 deviation), as well as labor wage determinations dated May 13, 2026, for all locations.

Non-price factors—technical approach and experience—are considered equally important and collectively more significant than price in the best-value award determination. Payment must be requested through the Treasury’s IPP system, and contract administration will be managed via FedConnect®. The government will evaluate quotes without discussions and award a single firm-fixed-price purchase order on an all-or-none basis
