J041--CHILLER MAINTENANCE SERVICES John J Pershing VAMC Poplar Bluff, Missouri

The "SOURCES SOUGHT – CONTRACTOR INFORMATION FORM" for NETWORK CONTRACTING OFFICE 15 is a one-page document designed for contractors to provide essential business information. This form is used to gather details such as the contractor's business name, address, SAM UEI, and contact person information. It also requires the contractor to identify their business type from a list of options, including various SBA certifications (e.g., 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Women-Owned Small Business) or large business status. Furthermore, the form asks contractors to quantify their experience by indicating the number of projects completed within different monetary ranges (e.g., <$500K, $500K~$1M, $1M~$2M, $2M~$5M, >$5M). A section for a "CAPABILITIES STATEMENT" is also included. This document serves as a preliminary information-gathering tool in the context of federal government RFPs, federal grants, and state and local RFPs, allowing the contracting office to assess potential contractors' general information, business classifications, and project experience.

This Sources Sought Notice from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is a market research announcement for Chiller Maintenance Services at the John J. Pershing VAMC in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. The VA intends to set aside this requirement for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) but encourages responses from all interested parties to identify potential qualified sources and their size classifications (HUBZone, 8(a), small, large business, etc.) relative to NAICS code 811310. This is not a request for proposals or quotes, but rather a notice to gather information for future acquisition decisions. The required services include preventive maintenance for water-cooled Trane and Carrier chillers, and an air-cooled Dimplex chiller, encompassing annual leak detection, inspections, oil sampling, filter replacement, and operational checks. Interested contractors must submit their information, including a capabilities statement and business details, via email to Gregory.McMillan@va.gov by August 15, 2025.
