Solicitation 36C77626R0106 was a request for proposals for the EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades construction project (Project 689-22-700) at the West Haven VA Medical Center in Connecticut. The project scope involved comprehensive infrastructure improvements, including the renovation and expansion of telecommunication rooms, a data center, generator enclosure, and fuel yard, with an estimated contract value between 20 million and 50 million dollars. The procurement was a 100 percent set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) and utilized a best-value tradeoff evaluation process focusing on project phasing, specialized experience, key personnel, and price. Technical requirements spanned civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical upgrades, including strict adherence to infection control and life safety standards for active patient care environments.
Despite the detailed technical specifications and multiple amendments to the solicitation, the Department of Veterans Affairs cancelled the RFP in its entirety. This decision was driven by the receipt of excessive pricing and a lack of sufficient competition. The government intends to issue a new solicitation for the project in the future, with a timeframe to be determined following a planned vendor day in early fiscal year 2027.
General Info
VA cancelled EHRM infrastructure construction RFP due to high pricing and low competition.
