Amendment 0001- Replacement-in-Kind Repair of Existing Perimeter Security Fence (Ameristar Impasse Trident) Brand Name or Equal

The Department of Veterans Affairs VA Boston Healthcare System is soliciting a contract for a localized replacement-in-kind repair of the perimeter security fence at the Brockton VA Campus in Massachusetts. The project focuses on restoring five affected fence bays and six associated post locations that were damaged by winter snow-removal activities. The objective is to return the damaged sections to their original alignment, configuration, appearance, structural stability, and security function. The benchmark product is the Ameristar Impasse Trident system, and while genuine components are preferred, equal alternatives may be proposed if they meet all salient characteristics, including the use of corrosion-resistant tamper-resistant hardware and the maintenance of a continuous security boundary. This procurement is a total set-aside for certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS code 238990. The period of performance is scheduled from December 1, 2026, to January 31, 2027. Award decisions will be based on the most advantageous offer, considering price, technical capability, and past performance, with a requirement for three relevant references. Proposals must be submitted in three separate PDF volumes (Technical, Past Performance, and Price) to the contract specialist by November 5, 2026. Final acceptance is contingent upon a satisfactory installation inspection, which may include a review by VA Police to ensure operational security.
