R408--Mock Life Safety-Joint Commission Survey

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), through its Network Contract Office 8, is conducting a market research effort via a Sources Sought Notice to identify qualified contractors capable of performing a Mock Life Safety Joint Commission Survey at a firm fixed price for the Bay Pines VA Healthcare System located in Florida. This notice is not a solicitation for bids, but rather a request for information to assess industry capability and availability, which will inform the VA’s acquisition strategy for this potential requirement. Interested parties are asked to provide detailed company information, including contact details, UEI number, CAGE code, business size under NAICS code 541690, any current government contracts related to the scope, anticipated subcontracting percentages, and clarification on the work performed in-house versus subcontracted. Responses must be submitted by 15:00 EST on May 29, 2026, to the contracting officer Moneque Rodriguez. The VA emphasizes that this notice is solely for planning purposes and does not guarantee a contract award or any obligation to pay for information received. Submissions will be treated as proprietary and used at the Government’s discretion, with no assurance of acknowledgement or feedback. The effort focuses on ensuring that the VA can effectively gauge contractor qualifications to potentially conduct life safety and compliance assessments across multiple facilities at Bay Pines. The notice establishes the groundwork to facilitate a future solicitation, contingent on market research findings.
