The Department of Veterans Affairs is set to issue a firm-fixed-price contract for the design and construction of a new storage building in Iowa City, IA. The project, carrying a price tag of between $2 million and $5 million, requires the replacement of an existing building with a larger, two-story structure to house PPE, medical supplies, and IT equipment. The VA aims to award the contract under the FAR Part 36.3 two-phase design-build process to a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). Interested parties should prepare for the formal Request for Proposal (RFP) issuance in fall 2024, with a projected 270-day completion period.
