The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking qualified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses to replace condensate pumps and associated piping in Building 1, Mechanical Room SG182, and Building 2, Mechanical Room G139, at the West Haven VA Medical Center in Connecticut. This procurement, issued as a Request for Quotation under solicitation number 36C24126Q0605, is a total set-aside for SDVOSBs and falls under NAICS code 238220 with a size standard of $19.0 million. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management and verified in the VA’s VIP database at the time of submission and award. The scope includes removing existing pump skids and deteriorated piping, installing two new condensate pump skids with VFD controls, BAS tie-ins, insulation, labeling, and associated electrical service in both buildings, as well as returning existing VFDs from Building 2. Work must be performed in confined spaces requiring specialized procedures, coordinated steam outages, and mobilization only during weekend hours from Friday 5:00 p.m. to Sunday 5:00 p.m., with no work permitted on federal holidays unless an emergency is declared. All personnel must hold OSHA 10-hour certifications, with the site competent person requiring OSHA 30-hour certification, and adherence to VA construction standards, NFPA codes, and federal and state regulations is mandatory. Quotes must be submitted via email to Nathan.Langone@va.gov, Mauricio.Diaz@va.gov, and Tnauri.Woodbridge@va.gov by the revised deadline of July 27, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and must include a signed and dated response with the solicitation number, unique entity identifier, complete pricing details, and a certification on limitations on subcontracting. Evaluation will be based on technical/quality approach—particularly regarding personnel qualifications, confined space work, compliance with VA directives, and coordination with VA staff—past performance risk assessment, and price, with award going to the quote offering the best benefit to the government, not necessarily the lowest price. Required deliverables include a work plan coordinated with the Contracting Officer’s Representative, startup and acceptance testing, operations and maintenance training for VA personnel, a final documentation report with test results, photos, and a one-line diagram within 10 business days of completion, and copies of
