The Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) is issuing a presolicitation notice for the renovation of the Blood Draw Lab (Project 515-25-203) at the Battle Creek, Michigan VA Medical Center. This project is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBC) and seeks qualified Architect-Engineering (AE) firms to submit their qualifications via Standard Form 330 (SF330).
The scope includes the redesign of a 1,500 square-foot space to enhance blood draw capabilities, improve waiting areas, and modify traffic flow while minimizing disruption to existing services. The RFP stipulates adherence to the Federal Acquisition Regulation and the need for firms to be registered in the System for Award Management.
The selection process will be conducted in two stages, with initial evaluations focusing on qualifications, specialized experience, and past performance. Shortlisted firms will be invited for interviews to present their qualifications further. Firms must ensure their working office is located within four hours of the project site for site visits. All proposals are due by April 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, and must comply with established submission guidelines. This initiative demonstrates the VA's commitment to improving healthcare facilities for veterans while supporting small businesses.
