The Department of Veterans Affairs' Great Lakes Acquisition Center is conducting a Sources Sought Notice to gather information from qualified vendors capable of providing preventive maintenance and repair services for hot side kitchen equipment and dishwashers at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois. This notice is for market research purposes only and is not a solicitation or a guarantee of a future contract. The required services include at least two preventive maintenance inspections per year per piece of equipment, in accordance with manufacturer recommendations, covering a comprehensive list of commercial kitchen appliances such as dishwashers, conveyor systems, gas ranges, convection ovens, steam kettles, and cabinet warmers located in a specific kitchen facility on the third floor. Interested parties are requested to submit detailed statements of capability including organizational information, relevant past experience, SAM UEI number, business size, socio-economic status (with special consideration for service-disabled veteran-owned or veteran-owned small businesses), and compliance with subcontracting limitations specified under VA regulations. The notice highlights strict adherence to the VA's limitations on subcontracting requirements to ensure significant participation by SDVOSB/VOSB firms. Responses must be submitted electronically by January 23rd, 2026, and include a signed certification affirming compliance with these limitations. The Government emphasizes that failure to comply with these terms or submit the required certification will render offerings ineligible for evaluation or award.
