Y1DA--FY26 Resolicit CON Project 674A4-21-108 - Upgrade Fire Alarm System Campus Wide (Waco) (VA-25-00021609)

The Doris Miller Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Waco, Texas, is preparing to issue a request for proposal around April 22, 2026, for a project to upgrade the fire alarm system campus-wide. This project involves completely replacing the existing fire alarm system with a new Notifier system, where all buildings will connect to a central Honeywell/Notifier panel located in building 225. The main panel will also communicate off-site with the Waco Fire Department. The contractor will be responsible for all aspects of the installation, including demolition, materials, labor, supervision, and compliance with relevant codes and standards such as the Uniform Building Code, National Electrical Code, and National Fire Protection Association standards, among others. The work is expected to be completed within 365 calendar days from the issuance of the notice to proceed. The contract will be a firm fixed price type and is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, with project costs estimated between $5 billion and $10 billion. The procurement falls under NAICS code 238210, covering electrical contractors and wiring installation. Compliance with veteran small business certification through the Veterans Small Business Certification program is mandatory prior to the submission of proposals, with failure to secure verification and visibility resulting in disqualification. All work must minimize disruption to existing operations and be closely coordinated with the VA, which will have final authority in resolving any conflicts between specifications, codes, or contract documents. Stephanie Ingersoll serves as the primary point of contact for this procurement.
