The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Program Contracting Activity Central, is preparing to award a firm-fixed-price contract for the design-bid-build replacement of windows in Building 1 at the William S. Middleton Memorial VA Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin. This 618,000-square-foot historic facility, constructed in 1949, houses critical healthcare operations including surgical centers, emergency and intensive care units, pharmacies, clinics, laboratories, research spaces, inpatient and outpatient services, administrative offices, and commercial kitchens. The project scope includes professional architectural and structural services, demolition of existing windows and associated structures, and interior and exterior construction work, all while ensuring continuous operation of hospital functions. The solicitation will be issued as an Invitation for Bids under FAR Part 14 and is strictly set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, with only SDVOSB concerns eligible to respond. The North American Industry Classification System code is 236220 with a size standard of $45 million in average annual receipts. The estimated contract value is between $10 million and $20 million, with the agency’s projection favoring the lower end of that range. The period of performance is approximately 450 calendar days from the issuance of the notice to proceed, and the place of performance is 2500 Overlook Terrace, Madison, WI 53705. The solicitation is expected to be released between late May and June 2026, with responses due by May 28, 2026, no later than 4:00 PM Eastern Time, submitted exclusively via email to designated VA contacts; telephone inquiries are prohibited. While no specific contract clauses, attachments, evaluation factors, or detailed packaging requirements are included in the presolicitation notice, the procurement will follow federal regulations and VA-specific construction guidelines under VAAR 836.204. Inspection and acceptance will be conducted by the government at the project site, with award expected to be based on lowest price technically acceptable criteria due to the sealed bidding process under FAR Part 14.
