    Description

    The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking information from businesses that can provide water testing services for the Pittsburgh VA Medical Center Dental Clinic. This is a request for planning and information purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for offers.

    The primary objective is to ensure compliance with VA standards and regulations by conducting thorough water testing in the Dental Services Department at the Heinz Campus. The focus is on testing dental unit water lines to guarantee safe and bacteria-free water for patients.

    The scope of work involves quarterly water sampling and testing, with each sampling event requiring the collection of 113 samples from dental operatories across Building 71, Heinz campus. The contractor must coordinate sampling times with dental clinic staff, follow strict sampling procedures, and analyze the samples using EPA-approved methods at a NELAP-accredited laboratory. Results must be submitted to the VA within two weeks of sampling.

    The estimated contract value is not provided, and respondents should not incur any administrative costs, as the government will not reimburse them. The expected contract type is a service contract, with the potential for multiple sampling events over time.

    Businesses of all sizes, including veterans-owned, woman-owned, and other specialized small businesses, are encouraged to respond. Interested parties should provide their capabilities, experience, and detailed responses to the questions outlined in the request. Pricing information for the services offered is also requested, although it will only be used for market research purposes.

    Submissions must be emailed to Contracting Officer Edward Ferkel at edward.ferkel@va.gov by 10:00 AM EST on August 9, 2024. Respondents should note that this is not a solicitation and that responses will not be considered for award. Any future solicitations will be posted on the Contract Opportunities website.

    For clarity, respondents are advised against contacting VA Medical Center staff, as only the Contracting Officer, Edward Ferkel, can provide authorized responses.
