Y1DA--FY26 NRM| 534-24-102 Renovate SPS Spaces Construction

This contract is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside under FAR Parts 12 and 36 for the renovation of Sterile Processing Service spaces at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston, South Carolina, with an estimated value between $5 million and $10 million. The work is to be completed within a 360-calendar-day performance period beginning upon issuance of the Notice to Proceed, and the government will award a single firm-fixed-price contract using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedures. Quoters must submit both technical and price volumes by August 17, 2026, at 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time via email, following an amendment that extended the original due date. To be considered technically acceptable, offerors must pass all four evaluation factors on a pass/fail basis: demonstrating qualified project manager and superintendent with proven experience on similar large-scale projects in active patient care environments; identifying a qualified communications subcontractor; submitting a complete project execution package including a 360-day draft schedule, phasing narrative for uninterrupted VA operations, communications protocol, and a safety narrative compliant with ICRA Class IV and ILSM standards; and providing an EMR score of 1.0 or less for the most recent policy year, or full mitigation documentation if higher. Failure in any single factor results in immediate rejection regardless of price. All submissions must adhere to stringent technical, safety, and compliance requirements tied to the construction environment of an active medical facility. Materials must be preserved in controlled temperature conditions between 7–30°C, properly labeled per manufacturer and industry standards including NFRC, ANSI, NFPA, and CGA, and delivered in original sealed containers to prevent damage. Key personnel must include a CQC System Manager with engineering credentials and a fully staffed CQC team covering electrical, mechanical, structural, and environmental disciplines, along with certified professionals such as BICSI installers and RCDDs for communication systems. Security systems must be fully integrated with IT networks and verified by the contractor using three current, identical installations, and all subcontractors must be pre-vetted. The contractor must operate under a robust Quality Control Plan with independent technical reviews, maintain all inspection documentation on-site, and comply with commercial clauses extended to construction, including inspection, warranty, and termination provisions under FAR and VAAR. Invoicing must be submitted electronically via VA’s OB10/Tungsten portal
