Removal of Abandoned Telecommunications Equipment

The Department of Veterans Affairs has issued a Sources Sought Announcement, solicitation number 36C24526Q0853, to identify capable sources for the removal and disposal of abandoned telecommunications equipment at the Washington DC VA Medical Center. The project is located within the MER-3 Main Equipment Room of the Main Hospital Building and requires the contractor to provide all labor, materials, and equipment to disconnect and remove cabinets, racks, control panels, power supplies, and cable pressurization systems. Additionally, the contractor must patch wall penetrations and restore finishes to match adjacent surfaces, providing a minimum one-year workmanship warranty on all restoration work. This is a market research effort and not a formal solicitation. Interested parties must submit a capability statement, company information, SAM Unique Entity ID, Cage Code, and general pricing to Jameel Gordon by September 28, 2026. The work must be performed in accordance with VA Master Construction Specifications, NFPA 70, and OSHA requirements, with strict adherence to Lockout/Tagout procedures and VA Interim Life Safety Measures. Quality assurance will be managed through daily inspections and three specific hold points, concluding with a final punch list and walkthrough with the VA Contracting Officer's Representative.
