Reverse Osmosis Water System

The South Texas Veterans Health Care System, through the Department of Veterans Affairs’ 257-NETWORK Contract Office 17, is seeking qualified sources to provide comprehensive monthly maintenance and service for a Reverse Osmosis Water System located in Room V203 of the Research Service at the Audie L. Murphy Division in San Antonio, Texas. The effort encompasses a Base Year beginning July 1, 2026, and extending through June 30, 2027, with four additional Option Years that could extend performance through June 30, 2031. The system, which includes water softening, carbon filtration, reverse osmosis, UV sterilization, submicron filtration, and deionization components, requires full-service support to ensure ongoing compliance with ASTM Type I water quality standards and adherence to manufacturer specifications for key equipment such as Trojan UVmax UV lamps, MISO-2A2A20DMEPP membranes, and associated control systems. Contractors must perform monthly prefilter changes, biannual carbon tank replacements, annual UV lamp and biennial quartz sleeve and resin exchanges, and conduct semi-annual heterotrophic plate count testing, along with a detailed 16-point system performance check. All services must be documented and reported within five business days, including calibration certifications, validation reports, and emergency service logs, and must be submitted to the Contracting Officer’s Representative. The contractor is required to provide 24/7 emergency response capability throughout the contract period and must operate within regular business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. Personnel must comply strictly with VA facility safety, security, and infection control protocols while on-site, though no security clearances or access to protected health information are required. The solicitation does not specify pricing, contract value, or evaluation factors, nor does it include formal contract clauses, packaging requirements, or invoicing instructions, indicating this is a pre-solicitation sources-sought notice issued to gather market information prior to formal procurement. Submission of responses is due by May 29, 2026, via an unspecified method to the designated point of contact, with no defined format or page limitations provided. The contract type remains undetermined, and while option years are available at the government’s discretion, no award basis such as LPTA or trade-off has been established. Key contractor capabilities include expertise in deionized and RO water
