The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking qualifications from service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) to conduct a Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) for Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 (VISN 2). This initiative requires a multi-disciplinary team to evaluate approximately 436 buildings totaling about 13.3 million gross square feet. The assessment involves independent inspections, interviews, and research to create a comprehensive report outlining necessary corrective actions. Responses will be evaluated based on criteria such as specialized experience, professional qualifications of team members, capacity to manage the project within the specified timeframe, past performance, and knowledge of local conditions. The contractor must be registered in the System for Award Management and be certified as an SDVOSB at the time of submission. Proposals should be submitted electronically by March 20, 2025, with specific guidelines for formatting and content. This request emphasizes the VA's commitment to utilizing veteran-owned businesses while ensuring transparency and adherence to federal regulations.

The document outlines the Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) for the North Atlantic District VISN 2, a key initiative by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) aimed at evaluating the physical and technical conditions of various VA Medical Centers (VAMCs). The assessment involves independent inspections across 436 buildings totaling approximately 13.3 million square feet. The contractor will deploy a diverse field team, including architects, engineers, and cost estimators, to conduct site evaluations and provide a detailed report of necessary corrective actions. Crucial procedural elements include coordination with VA officials, obtaining necessary access for data requirements, and updating the existing FCA database to reflect current conditions. The assessment will specifically exclude non-technical issues such as patient privacy and future equipment needs but will incorporate seismic evaluations where applicable. The final report will feature a prioritized 'Top-Ten' list of deficiencies for budget consideration. Furthermore, VA will support by granting access to relevant data, site maps, and prior documentation. This initiative reflects the VA’s commitment to maintaining its infrastructure and ensuring the safety and quality of services provided to veterans, demonstrating a systematic approach to facility management in the context of government contracts and assessments.
