The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is issuing a Sources Sought Notice for the potential study of medical gas system panels at the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital in Tampa, FL. This notice is intended solely for information and planning purposes, not as a solicitation for proposals. The goal is to identify qualified sources that can assess the medical gas system reporting to the Central Energy Plant. Responses will help determine available suppliers, but no proposals will be evaluated based on this notice alone. Interested companies must provide specific information, including business classification, a capability statement, and prior government contract experience. The notice includes details regarding the contracting office, response deadlines, and the relevant North American Industry Classification System code (NAICS 811210). All inquiries must be directed to the designated Contract Specialist, and responses are due by February 19, 2025. This notice reflects VA's intent to gather insights before potentially issuing a formal solicitation for the required services.

The project "Medical Gas Panel in Central Energy Plant" focuses on studying the medical gas system panels at the James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital to identify necessary repairs and ensure compliance with NFPA-99 standards before replacing the existing panel. The contractor will conduct a gap analysis, documenting findings and required repairs for future certification. Work is to take place primarily on weekdays at the hospital location, with provisions for site visits to assist bidders in understanding the work environment. Key requirements include meticulous documentation of operational data, adherence to safety regulations, and the use of qualified personnel holding ASSE certifications. The contractor must coordinate efforts with the Government to guarantee compliance checks and report findings within one week post-study. The scope includes ensuring zero loss of functionality and compliance with safety and infection control policies, along with managing access and security in line with VA directives. The document emphasizes the importance of maintaining hospital operations and safeguarding patient care throughout the process, highlighting the government's commitment to upholding healthcare standards.
