AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking information from qualified small business contractors for the removal and replacement of the existing chiller serving the Surgical Suite in Building 500 at the Martinsburg VA Medical Center in West Virginia. This source sought notice is purely for market research and planning, not a solicitation for bids or proposals, and no contract award will result from responses. The scope requires a contractor to handle all aspects of the project including site verification, lockout/tagout of electrical services, recovery and disposal of refrigerant in compliance with EPA regulations, crane-assisted removal of the old unit, and installation of a new Trane CGAM-series chiller or equivalent on the existing pad. Work includes reconnecting electrical systems with new conductors, installing a dedicated 115V barrel heater circuit, integrating control wiring with the existing Building Automation System, laying new chilled-water piping with valves and supports, adding a redundant heat trace system, insulating all piping, and repairing any disturbed insulation. The contractor must conduct a factory-authorized startup, verify all safety systems and BAS integration, bleed air from the system, confirm pump and flow operations, and submit detailed startup logs and commissioning documentation. All work must adhere to OSHA and VA safety standards, with coordination of shutdowns and schedules managed directly with VA facilities. Deliverables include completed startup documentation, operations and maintenance manuals, warranty certificates, as-built drawings reflecting electrical and piping modifications, and on-site training for VA O&M staff. The government prefers a five-year parts warranty but will accept the standard one-year manufacturer warranty with a 90-day labor warranty. The contract is anticipated to be classified under NAICS code 238220 for Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors. Interested parties must provide their company information, UEI/DUNS number, point of contact, socio-economic status such as SDVOSB, VOSB, or SB, relevant healthcare facility experience with similar chiller replacements, a capability statement confirming ability to meet technical and schedule demands, and explicit clarification of intent to self-perform or subcontract. If subcontracting, respondents must demonstrate compliance with applicable limitations on subcontracting. Responses are due by May 11, 2026, at 9:00 AM EST and must be emailed to Trever.Turcotte@va.gov and William.Galletta@va.gov with the specified subject line. The place of performance is fixed at the Martinsburg VA Medical Center, and no packaging, FOB terms, or
