R425--STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Department of Veterans Affairs San Diego VA Health Care System seeks information from qualified Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran Owned Small Businesses, and other small business categories through a sources sought announcement to support Storm Water Compliance Management Services. This is a market research effort and not a solicitation, meaning there is no obligation for the government to award a contract or respond to solicitation requests. Interested firms must provide detailed documentation of their technical expertise, company details, and a capability statement addressing their qualifications to manage storm water compliance in accordance with EPA Phase II regulations, the Clean Water Act, and related state permits. The contract scope includes the maintenance and implementation of a comprehensive five-year Storm Water Management Plan, site surveys, labeling of storm drains, inspections, corrective actions, best management practice evaluations, pollution source identification, and coordination with VA environmental and engineering offices. The contractor’s responsibilities include conducting initial and ongoing evaluations of the storm water system, performing quarterly and annual inspections, updating maintenance plans, managing erosion and sediment controls, and delivering educational materials to reduce illicit discharges. The work involves handling all required labor, materials, reports, equipment, waste disposal, and ensuring minimal disruption to VA operations. The acquisition will be set aside for SDVOSB firms, although alternate set-asides may be considered if SDVOSB responses are insufficient. The estimated NAICS code for this opportunity is 561612, with a value of approximately $25.5 million. All interested vendors must be registered in SAM and, if applicable, SBA DSBS, and submit their responses by March 5, 2026, to the designated Contract Specialist. This announcement underscores the government's intent to carefully assess market capabilities prior to any solicitation decision.
