The Department of Veterans Affairs is awarding a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside contract for the construction of consolidated boiler spaces at the Loch Raven Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland, under solicitation number 36C24526R0014. The project, valued between $20 million and $50 million, involves comprehensive demolition, architectural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and landscaping work to replace aging boiler infrastructure with a new, centralized facility. The NAICS code was changed from 238220 to 236220 following a successful Small Business Administration appeal, setting the size standard at $45 million and ensuring eligibility for SDVOSB firms. The contract requires a 730-day performance period from the Notice to Proceed, with all work performed on-site at Building 4, 3901 Loch Raven Blvd. The scope includes strict compliance with NFPA, IBC, ASTM, and VA-specific standards for fire protection, electrical systems, door hardware, and mechanical equipment, with detailed specifications for boilers, hydronic pumps, fire suppression, and alarm systems integrated with access control. Site conditions were evaluated through geotechnical and asbestos/lead surveys, confirming no hazardous materials were present but advising caution for unknowns during construction.
The solicitation mandates a two-volume proposal: Volume I details specialized experience in boiler plant construction, phasing methodology, past performance, professional staff qualifications, and capacity, while Volume II contains a fixed-price, itemized bid submitted electronically. Evaluation follows a trade-off approach, prioritizing technical merit over price, with technical proposals evaluated on four weighted factors—specialized experience (40%), phasing (20%), past performance (20%), and professional staff qualifications (12%)—before price consideration. All submissions must be emailed to Contracting Officer Liana J. Holland by 14:00 EDT on March 12, 2026, with no further extensions or site visits permitted. Contractors must comply with stringent security requirements, including VA access badges, photography restrictions, and surrender of permanent locks upon completion. Safety protocols require OSHA 10- and 30-hour certifications, site-specific orientations, and the presence of qualified Competent Persons for all high-hazard tasks. Invoicing must be submitted electronically through the VA’s EIPPS system, and all materials require manufacturer original packaging, proper labeling, and indoor storage maintained at minimum 55°F
