The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking experienced companies to replace the Boiler 3 Operational Program at the Loma Linda VA Healthcare System in California.
This is a sources sought announcement intended to gather information on potential contractors capable of providing specialized services. The VA is exploring options for a possible Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside but may opt for an alternate set-aside or full and open competition depending on responses.

Interested parties should demonstrate their technical expertise and experience in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting, with particular emphasis on functional area expertise.

Submissions should include the Unique Entity ID, Cage Code, Tax ID Number, and a detailed capability statement.

Responses should be sent to Mirna Gastelum Romero, Contract Specialist, via email at Mirna.GastelumRomero@va.gov. Please note that this is not a solicitation and the government is not obligated to respond to requests for one.
The VA encourages SDVOSBs to respond and will use the information received to determine the acquisition approach.
