The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, through the 260-NETWORK Contract Office 20 in Vancouver, Washington, is soliciting leasehold interests for a Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) in San Gabriel, California, under solicitation number 36C24W26R0060, with proposals due by July 17, 2026. This combined solicitation seeks a fully compliant, tenant-ready facility that meets stringent VA operational, safety, and accessibility standards. The leased space must adhere to comprehensive agency-specific requirements detailed in Exhibit B1, including architectural design, HVAC and electrical specifications, security systems, maintenance protocols, and emergency response timelines. The Lease Design Narrative in Exhibit B3 provides performance-based technical guidelines aligned with VA’s standardized CBOC prototype, referencing NFPA, ASHRAE, GSA, and other regulatory codes across site civil, architecture, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, lighting, and telecommunications systems. Offerors must also comply with infection control mandates outlined in the VHA Infection Control Risk Assessment template, ensuring construction and operational activities minimize patient exposure to health hazards. Contractual obligations extend to fire safety, seismic resilience, and facility maintenance, as stipulated in Exhibits I and J. The Prelease Fire Protection and Life Safety Evaluation Form requires offerors to attest to compliance with NFPA 101 and other fire codes, with additional engineering certification needed for upper-floor spaces. Seismic compliance is governed by a series of certified forms requiring licensed engineer attestation to meet RP 8 and ASCE/SEI standards, covering both existing and new construction scenarios. Janitorial services, defined in Exhibit B2, mandate strict staffing levels, daily and periodic cleaning tasks, emergency sanitation protocols, and maintenance duties such as light replacement and inclement weather response. All proposals must follow procedural rules outlined in Exhibit E, including submission deadlines, late proposal handling, and documentation requirements, while general leasehold terms in Exhibit F incorporate FAR and GSAR clauses covering subleasing, audit rights, labor standards, cybersecurity, disputes, and contract succession. The solicitation imposes no set-aside provisions and requires all offerors to demonstrate a facility capable of supporting full VA outpatient operations in a safe, secure, and code-compliant environment.
