The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting a Sources Sought Notice to identify potential Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), and other small business firms for the exterior glass panel replacement at the Lee County VA Clinic in Cape Coral, Florida. This initiative aims to perform a one-time service through a firm-fixed price contract lasting 60 days. Responses are requested by February 20, 2025, by 10:00 AM Eastern Time, and interested parties should provide detailed information regarding their organization, capabilities, and experience. The NAICS code for this requirement is 238150, with a small business size standard of $19 million. The information gathered will be used solely for market research purposes to determine whether to pursue a competitive procurement. The VA has the right to set aside the opportunity for SDVOSB or VOSB if two or more eligible responses are received. Responses should be emailed to the designated contracting officer, Cindy Smith, as indicated in the notice. Overall, this effort underscores the VA's commitment to engaging qualified small businesses in fulfilling its service needs.
The Statement of Work outlines the requirements for glass replacement services at the Lee County VA Health Care Clinic in Cape Coral, Florida. The Department of Veterans Affairs seeks a contractor to remove broken impact glass and install 34 new impact panels that meet hurricane impact requirements and relevant codes. The project must be completed within 60 days post-award, and the contractor is responsible for all aspects, including measuring, manufacturing, and disposing of old glass. Work is to be conducted after hours to avoid disruptions, with specific safety and operational requirements outlined. The contractor must hold necessary licenses and take full responsibility for any damage caused during execution. Performance will be monitored by a government representative, with corrective actions necessary for any deficiencies identified. The firm-fixed-price contract emphasizes that timely completion and quality work are paramount, allowing for potential contract termination for non-compliance. This document highlights the VA’s commitment to maintaining facility safety and resilience against environmental threats through careful contractor selection and oversight.
