This pre-solicitation is issued exclusively to small business concerns, with a particular emphasis on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), to determine their availability, capability, and appropriate set-aside category for this construction effort.

Respondents are required to submit comprehensive information including company details, SAM UEI number, business status, and evidence of construction experience in hospital-related electrical and wiring installations. Particular attention is directed to demonstrating capability in specialized small business categories such as SDVOSB, VOSB, Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), 8(a), HUBZone, and others, along with a plan to meet a 25% minimum small business subcontracting participation requirement if self-performance is not planned. The responses are limited to a maximum of eight pages, to be submitted in a single PDF or Word document via email by December 18, 2025. This notice is not a solicitation or a request for proposals and carries no commitment to award; it is solely intended to inform the government’s acquisition planning, including determination of suitable procurement methods and set-aside designations. All work will be performed onsite at the VA Medical Center with government inspection and acceptance occurring at the place of performance. Key FAR clauses, pricing information, contract types, and formal evaluation criteria are not provided at this stage, underscoring the preliminary and informational nature of this market research effort.
