Z2DZ--Construction Project 538-19-215: Privacy and Dignity

The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning a construction project titled Patient Privacy & Dignity Renovations at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center, with the solicitation number 36C25026B0043. This project, set aside exclusively for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses, involves facility-wide renovations to enhance patient privacy and dignity. The work includes installing cubicle curtain assemblies, removing existing curtains at certain Community-Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs), replacing doors and door hardware across multiple buildings, and removing specialized locking hardware in Building 210. The project must be carried out without disrupting ongoing medical center operations and will require strict compliance with infection control, safety, badging, security, and historic preservation protocols. The contract will be awarded through an Invitation for Bids, with an estimated construction magnitude between $1 million and $5 million, and a performance period of approximately 360 days for most work items. Several alternates allow the elimination of specific curtain installations and hardware replacements to accommodate differing bid scenarios. All bidding documents will be released electronically on SAM.gov around May 11, 2026, and bidders must be verified as SDVOSBs. The project demands adherence to VA safety guidelines, infection control standards, critical quality management procedures, and compliance with the Chillicothe VAMC's site-specific policies. Site visits and amendments will be communicated via SAM.gov, and all questions submitted via the designated contract specialist before bid submission.
