    The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 8 (NCO 8) in Tampa, FL, has issued Amendment/Modification Number 0004 to Solicitation Number 36C24825R0164, dated November 14, 2025. This amendment formally cancels the solicitation in its entirety. The document, signed by Contracting Officer Stacy Figlinski, serves as an official notification to all offerors and bidders regarding the cancellation of the procurement opportunity. This action ensures that all parties involved are aware that the proposed project or requirement under the original solicitation will no longer proceed.
    The document details s::can's water quality monitoring solutions, primarily the pipe::scan sensor system and various monitoring stations (micro::station and nano::station). The pipe::scan is designed for in-pipe drinking water quality monitoring, measuring up to 10 parameters like TOC, UV254, and Chlorine, with features such as hot-maintenance and 6-month service intervals. The micro::station and nano::station are modular, pre-assembled systems for diverse applications, from basic turbidity to advanced multi-parameter monitoring with event detection. These stations offer cost savings and are configurable with spectrometer and physical probes (e.g., i::scan, chlori::lyser, pH::lyser, condu::lyser) to measure a wide array of parameters including pH, conductivity, and various chlorine types. The systems are designed for drinking water networks, smart cities, and intake protection, with technical specifications and global contact information provided.
    The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is undertaking a project (Project Number 673-23-107) to install continuous water quality monitoring at its Tampa, FL campus. This involves deploying new Concube V3 water monitoring devices, Bacnet-Modbus gateway devices, and associated electrical infrastructure across various buildings. Key electrical requirements include connecting monitoring devices to existing 208/120V, 3-phase, 4-wire normal panelboards with new 20A circuit breakers and appropriate wiring. The electrical contractor is responsible for verifying existing panelboard capacity, coordinating with mechanical contractors and manufacturers, and providing updated panel directories. All new outlets and devices must be flush-mounted with concealed conduits, and housekeeping pads are required for floor-mounted electrical equipment. The project also entails maintaining the continuity of existing circuits, providing firestopping materials for penetrations, and coordinating any required outages with a 72-hour notice. The system will communicate wirelessly via the campus intranet to a central display in the plumbing department and accessible via desktop PCs and cell phones.
    The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Construction and Facilities Management, is implementing a project for continuous water quality monitoring at its Tampa, FL campus.

Downs Blvd. The system will utilize CONCUBE V3 units, some equipped with Nano Stations or Pipe Scan Monitor Units, to wirelessly broadcast data via the campus intranet. All monitoring points will feed into a gateway protocol for domestic water monitoring, with a display mounted in the Plumbing Department for constant viewing. The project, identified as Project Number 673-23-107, aims to enhance water quality oversight across the campus.
