Z2DA--657-21-702JC EHRM Training And Administrative Space Construction - St Louis John Cochran

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the Program Contracting Activity Central, has awarded a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Recon Construction Specialties LLC for the construction of EHRM Training and Administrative Space at the John Cochran VA Medical Center in St. Louis, Missouri. The contract, identified by solicitation number 36C77626R0056 and award number 36C77626C0040, is valued at $464,750 and is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses under NAICS code 236220. The selection was made under statutory authority provided by 38 U.S.C. § 8127(c), justified by the contractor’s unique institutional knowledge of the site, gained through prior work on a terminated project at the same facility, and its verified SDVOSB certification through the SBA. The scope includes site preparation, demolition of existing structures, and renovation of a conference room in Building 2 to meet EHRM standards, with all work to be completed within 150 calendar days of the Notice to Proceed, anticipated for May 14, 2026. The contract contains no options, allowances, or price adjustments, and performance is strictly limited to the St. Louis location with no delivery or FOB terms applicable. The Contracting Officer, Richelle N. Gray, is the primary point of contact, supported by Contract Specialist Samuel Cornwell and Contracting Officer’s Representative Nicholas Copeland, with no COTR designated. All submissions for the intent-to-sole-source phase were required to be a single, application-generated PDF under four pages and submitted electronically by March 6, 2026. The project must adhere to VA and federal construction regulations, with acceptance occurring on-site after inspection by the government, though no specific quality standards beyond project drawings and VAAR/FAR compliance are listed. No additional clauses, evaluation factors, packaging requirements, or invoicing instructions were specified beyond the sole-source justification and statutory compliance framework.
