AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 7, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed price contract to NACCI Construction for the complete demolition and replacement of the cooling tower system at the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center in Augusta, Georgia, under FAR Subpart 6.302-1, which permits non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source can meet the agency’s requirements. The project involves removing the existing cooling tower, concrete basin, condenser water pumps, and associated electrical and control systems, and installing a new four-cell cooling tower with a reinforced concrete basin, variable-speed condenser water pumps equipped with NEMA 4 variable frequency drives, new piping, insulation, heat tracing, and full integration with the JCI Metasys Building Automation System. The contractor must also provide a temporary cooling tower to maintain continuous plant operations during construction and perform all necessary structural, mechanical, electrical, and control work in compliance with VA standards and applicable federal codes, culminating in testing, balancing, and commissioning of the new system to ensure full operational integrity. The procurement is not a competitive solicitation, and no formal request for proposals will be issued; however, any SAM-registered firm may submit a written capability statement by May 22, 2026, demonstrating its ability to perform the work, though responses are not required and will not be reimbursed. The NAICS code is 236220 with a size standard of $45 million, and the contract will be administered by Contracting Officer Kenyon Dulaney at the VISN 7 Network Contracting Office in Tucker, Georgia, with performance occurring at the VA Medical Center in Augusta. The contract type is firm-fixed price, and no evaluation factors, pricing details, or specific contract clauses are included at this stage, as this notice serves only to document the intent to proceed on a sole-source basis and evaluate market interest.
