Key Details
- What exactly do they need? The VA wants to renovate and expand the Emergency Room at the Boise VA Medical Center, including demolition, phasing, structural work, and installation of new systems.

The existing 5,700 square foot emergency room will be expanded and reconfigured to 8,900 square feet, and the adjacent functions will be reconfigured and relocated. The project includes all necessary utilities, and the work will be done on the first floor of Building 85.
- What's the contract structure and timeline? The contract will be a firm-fixed-price construction contract, with a base year and option years. The notice doesn't say how long the contract will last.
- How will they pick the winner? The VA will make a best-value determination based on the proposals received.
- When and how do you bid? The solicitation will be issued as a request for proposals (RFP) on July 15, 2026, and can be accessed on the SAM website. The bid deadline is not specified in the notice.
