Y1DA--36C25726R0012, 674-22-805 Upgrading Building Automation System Temple & Waco

The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 17 plans to issue a firm fixed price Request for Proposals (RFP) around December 2, 2025, for construction services to upgrade the HVAC and related building automation systems across the Temple and Waco VA medical campuses in Texas. This project involves digital modernization of approximately 41 buildings—30 at the Waco campus and 11 at the Temple campus—by converting existing HVAC controls to the Metasys BACNET MSTP network. The scope also includes reconfiguration of outpatient rehabilitation medicine and outpatient pharmacy service areas. The estimated contract value is between $10 million and $20 million with a performance period of 548 calendar days following the issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Johnson Controls International (JCI), already engaged on site in maintenance and system repairs, is recognized as an approved consultant to facilitate continuity and technical compatibility. This procurement is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under NAICS code 236220 with a $45 million size standard. Prospective offerors must be verified as SDVOSB through the SBA’s MySBA Certifications platform, be registered and active in the System for Award Management (SAM), and have a current VETS 4212 report filed with the Department of Labor to be deemed eligible; failure in any of these requirements will render proposals non-responsive. The solicitation will be conducted electronically via SAM.gov with a proposal submission deadline by January 12, 2026. A formal pre-bid site visit will be announced in the solicitation, and no questions will be answered before the solicitation release. The Government will perform inspection and acceptance at the Temple and Waco campuses consistent with standard federal contracting practices, while the detailed Statement of Work, drawings, and specifications will govern the technical and quality standards of the upgrade. Contract administration details, such as invoicing methods and payment processing, are not specified in the pre-solicitation materials.
