The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 6 is seeking qualified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses to perform asbestos-containing floor tile and mastic removal at the Durham VA Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina.

The contractor must employ non-friable, non-regulated removal methods, obtain an HHCU permit if thresholds are exceeded, and ensure TEM air clearance sampling confirms contamination levels at or below 70 structures per square millimeter. All work must occur during specified hours—5:00 PM to 3:00 AM Monday through Friday—without disrupting veteran care, and any weekend or holiday work requires prior written approval.
