Modernize 6N Inpatient Restrooms (Swing for 3N)

The Department of Veterans Affairs is soliciting proposals for the modernization of ten inpatient restroom Patient Care Units at the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center in Shreveport, Louisiana. This project requires the contractor to provide all labor, materials, and supervision to demolish existing swivette toilet combinations and replace them with VA-approved fixed-type toilet, sink, cabinet, and countertop assemblies. Additional requirements include reusing existing plumbing connections, repairing and painting walls to match existing colors, and installing new privacy curtain tracks and curtains. All work must be performed within an occupied healthcare environment, necessitating a focus on minimizing operational disruptions, which may require after-hours or weekend work. The required period of performance is 180 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. This procurement is a 100% set-aside for certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS code 236220. Award will be based on a Best Value tradeoff strategy, weighing technical factors—including schedule, quality management, and professional qualifications—and past performance equally against the price factor. The contractor must comply with the Buy American Act for construction materials and the Davis-Bacon Act for wage requirements. Required submission documents include a bid bond, a project schedule, and evidence of SDVOSB certification via the SBA website. Final acceptance is contingent upon a formal inspection by the Contracting Officer and the contractor's quality control personnel.
