H312--Base 4 Fire and Smoke Door Inspections and Repair Services at Jesse Brown VA Medical Center

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking qualified vendors to perform fire and smoke door inspections and minor repairs at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center in Chicago, IL, under solicitation number 36C25226Q0196, with responses due by July 17, 2026. The contract, classified under NAICS code 561621, is structured as a Base plus four option years and requires comprehensive compliance with NFPA 80 and NFPA 101 standards, including a 15-point inspection of 585 door openings. The government has clarified that the requirement for an on-site supervisory person will be satisfied if the lead technician holds NFPA 80 Fire Inspector Certification, eliminating the need for an additional supervisor and aligning labor requirements with the scope of a single technician task. Additionally, the prior mandate for a State Licensed Master Electrician or Registered Journeyman Electrician has been revised to accept NFPA 80 Fire Door Inspector certification or its equivalent, ensuring that only appropriately trained personnel qualified in fire door systems—not electrical systems—are permitted to perform the work. The contract is administered through the Network Contract Office 12 in Milwaukee, WI, with Justin J. Lemke listed as the primary point of contact. While key sections of the solicitation such as pricing, evaluation factors, performance periods, and detailed statements of work are not fully documented in the available data, the procurement is explicitly market-research driven, aiming to identify capable firms with at least three years of experience in NFPA-compliant fire door inspection and repair services in Wisconsin.
