Audiology Sound Booth

This document presents a Questions and Answers (Q&A) clarification for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) solicitation 36C25526Q0559, which concerns the procurement of a clinical sound booth suite. The Q&A addresses two primary areas of interest for potential offerors: * **Physical Dimensions:** In response to inquiries regarding the precise interior and exterior dimensions of the control and exam rooms, the VA directs offerors to the attached drawings of the previous sound booth to serve as a measurement guide. * **Delivery Schedule:** While the solicitation outlines an ideal delivery timeframe, the VA clarifies that it will accept and evaluate alternative proposals representing the offerors' best available delivery schedules. A longer delivery schedule will not inherently disqualify a submission.

This federal solicitation (36C25526Q0559), issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office (NCO) 15, seeks quotes for a brand-new Audiology Sound Booth to restore clinical services at the Kansas City VA Medical Center (KCVAMC) in Kansas City, Missouri. The previous sound booth sustained irreparable damage and contamination from a plumbing breach. The procurement is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) or Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) set-aside under NAICS code 334510 (size standard: 1,250 employees). The resulting award will be a Firm-Fixed-Price, FOB Destination purchase order. The contractor must deliver and install one complete audiology sound booth within 30 days after receipt of order (ARO). The sound booth must fit the exact dimensions of the clinical space (239” L x 148” W x 117” H, including a 6.5-inch pit depth), comply with ANSI noise isolation and audiometric testing standards, and adhere to the VHA Audiology and Speech Pathology Service Design Guide. Key features include a plug-and-play electrical system, energy-efficient LED lighting, and a window with one-way film separating the examiner and patient. Vendors must be authorized distributors and submit an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) authorization letter with their quote. Offers are due by August 12, 2026, at 3:30 PM CDT to Contracting Officer Amanda Williams.
