J041--Refurbishment of 11 Air Handlers for Jesse Brown VA Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois

This federal contract amendment (Amendment 0001) for solicitation 36C25226Q0557 is issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Great Lakes Acquisition Center, on behalf of the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center (JBVAMC) in Chicago, Illinois. The primary purpose of the amendment is to provide answers to submitted Request for Quotes (RFQ) questions and to schedule an official site visit. Because specific technical details—such as the dimensions, interior photographs, blueprints, and exact surface areas of the 11 Air Handling Units (AHUs) requiring refurbishment—are currently unavailable from JBVAMC, the government strongly encourages all prospective bidders to attend the site visit to assess the scope of work firsthand. The site visit is scheduled for Monday, July 13, 2026, at 10:00 AM local time. Interested parties will meet Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) Manuel Alvarado in the lobby of the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center. Additionally, the amendment addresses a technical inquiry regarding the use of UV-C coil/air handler/airstream irradiation as an optional enhancement. JBVAMC notes it is unfamiliar with this method but will consider it if the proposing contractor fully explains the process within their submitted quote. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged.
