J045--Emergency Steam Line & Pipe Repairs - NWI

Contract 36C6326P0240 was awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 23, to Boiler Chiller Systems, LLC on November 14, 2025, for a total amount of $100,850.00. The contract covers emergency steam line and pipe repairs at the Omaha VA Medical Center to address a critical system failure that caused heat loss in inpatient areas. Due to the urgent need to restore heating during cold seasonal periods and the inability of in-house staff to perform the work, the award was made on a sole-source basis under FAR 13.106-1(b) and simplified acquisition procedures, as open competition would have caused unacceptable delays. The scope of work involves the prompt restoration of steam system integrity to ensure reliable heat delivery to critical care and inpatient units within the 24/7 medical facility. The project falls under NAICS code 221330 for steam and air-conditioning contractors. Performance and final acceptance are located on-site at the Omaha VA Medical Center in Nebraska, with oversight provided by Contracting Officer Jesse Sweesy. The procurement was driven by unusual and compelling urgency to maintain safe and operational conditions for patients.
