RFP #: 26-101 Medical Center On-Demand Program - General Contracting Firms

The University of Virginia in Charlottesville is soliciting Letters of Interest and Statements of Qualifications from Class A General Contractors to join the Medical Center On-Demand Program, identified by RFP #26-101. This initiative aims to pre-qualify a select group of construction firms to handle a variety of projects including renovations, improvements, competitive sealed bidding, and emergency construction tasks at the Medical Center. Interested firms must submit completed Form HECO-16, which can be obtained from the University’s Facilities Planning and Construction website, along with detailed background information demonstrating their qualifications and experience. The opportunity is open only to highly qualified general contractors with the capacity to deliver high-quality work under time-sensitive and varied project conditions. All submissions must be received by September 8, 2026, at 9:00 PM Eastern Time, with inquiries directed to Berhan Aljiji, Contract Administrator for Construction, via email at bba4n@virginia.edu or by phone at (434) 982-4611. The solicitation is issued by the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia under its SLED classification, and performance of any resulting work will be exclusively in Charlottesville, Virginia. While no specific set-aside or NAICS code is designated, participation is limited to firms that can meet the stringent requirements for Class A general contracting and demonstrate a proven track record in healthcare construction environments. Selected firms will be placed on a qualified list for future project assignments without a guaranteed volume of work.
