HVAC Component Replacement at Central Western MA VAMC

Key Details

• What exactly do they need? The Department of Veterans Affairs needs a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business to replace the existing cassette mini-split system in three telehealth rooms at a Massachusetts VA Medical Center. The replacement units should be designed for a 10+ year life and meet the specified cooling and heating design temperatures. The rooms are interior, with no windows, and assume interior, drywall construction with no insulation.
• What's the contract structure and timeline? The contract is a commercial services contract under FAR Part 12, 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 Government will evaluate technical quotations in accordance with the evaluation framework stated in the solicitation. The evaluation criteria include understanding of the requirement, technical approach, qualifications and capability, and risk assessment. The Government will also perform a best-value tradeoff between technical, past performance, and price.
• When and how do you bid? Proposals are due on July 17, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST. The Government will evaluate proposals based on the evaluation criteria and may select other than the lowest priced quotation when the technical or past performance advantages of a higher rated vendor provide benefits that outweigh the associated price premium.
