This Sources Sought Notice (Solicitation Number 36C25026Q0673) is issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to conduct market research and identify qualified businesses capable of repairing a damaged elevator at the Dayton VA Medical Center in Ohio. Located in the two-story Fisher House (Building 425), the OTIS-manufactured elevator (ID: H25701) became unserviceable due to a lightning storm. An evaluation by an OTIS-certified technician identified two specific defects: a damaged CPU board that requires replacement, and a damaged, obsolete I/O board that cannot be replaced and must be repaired. The contracted scope of work requires providing all labor, materials, and services to troubleshoot the system, ship the I/O board to an authorized repair facility, install a new CPU board, reinstall the repaired I/O board, and perform necessary adjustments. All work must be completed by OTIS-certified technicians and comply with ASME A17.1 safety standards, culminating in a successful fire recall test. Interested parties must submit their company details, SAM Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), documentation of OTIS certification, and information on any existing contract vehicles (such as GSA Advantage). Responses must be submitted via email to Contract Specialist Brian Rosciszewski at Brian.Rosciszewski@VA.gov by June 30, 2026, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. This notice is for planning purposes only, and no contract will be awarded directly from this announcement.
