AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 12, awarded a firm-fixed price contract valued at $749,127.00 to Azimuth Contracting, LLC, a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), for boiler and plant operator support services at the Edward Hines, Jr. VA Hospital in Hines, Illinois. The contract covers a bridge period of performance from February 1, 2026, through July 31, 2026, with a planned follow-on long-term contract option extending up to five years. This procurement was conducted as a sole-source award under Public Law 109-461, Section 502, and VAAR 819.7008, which authorize non-competitive awards to SDVOSBs when it is in the government's best interest and the price is fair and reasonable. The total contract value is well within the $5 million statutory ceiling for such sole-source awards, ensuring compliance with VA acquisition regulations and FAR provisions governing justifications for non-competitive contracts. The scope of work focuses on continuous, reliable operation and maintenance of boiler and related plant systems essential to facility operations at the VA hospital. Services must conform to applicable federal standards for facility maintenance and safety, with government oversight for inspection and acceptance conducted at the place of performance in Hines, IL. While the contract documentation does not include extensive details on packaging, invoicing methods, or specific inspection criteria, it identifies Eileen Meyer of the Network Contract Office 12 in Milwaukee, WI, as the primary point of contact. The award reflects a trade-off basis evaluating best value rather than strictly lowest price, and it includes prescribed administrative and procurement clauses relevant to sole-source SDVOSB contracts, but lacks modifications, amendments, or detailed listings of attachments. The solicitation was posted on January 20, 2026, with proposal submissions due by December 9, 2025, emphasizing timely contract administration for critical operational facility support.
