NTX VAMC Utility Tunnel Pump Room

The Department of Veterans Affairs is soliciting proposals for a Firm-Fixed-Price contract to replace and upgrade chilled water pumping equipment and associated controls at the Dallas VA Medical Center. Located in the Utility Tunnel Pump Room between Building 2J and the Energy Center, the project requires the replacement of obsolete 1994 equipment with modern systems that meet or exceed original design intent, capacity, and efficiency. The scope of work encompasses all engineering, design, materials, installation, and commissioning. Specifically, the government requires the proposal of seven chilled water pumps, five VFDs, and an electronic control-valve conversion. The period of performance is 270 calendar days after receipt of order, with a detailed project schedule due within ten days of award. This solicitation is strictly set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) listed in the VA's Vendor Information Pages database. Award selection will be based on a best-value comparative evaluation focusing on the technical approach, management structure, and past performance, rather than the lowest price. Proposals must be submitted in PDF format to the primary point of contact by December 16, 2026. The contractor must adhere to strict quality control standards, including leak testing and vibration verification, and comply with OSHA safety regulations and federal wage determinations. All invoices are to be submitted electronically for payment via Electronic Funds Transfer.
