C1DA--Mechanical Fix & Piping 36C24626R0027
Summary
AI-generated · Jan 28, 2026Identify potential sources of Architect-Engineer design services to complete a Mechanical Fix and Piping project at the Salisbury VA Medical Center, covering Buildings B2, B3, B11, B21, B42, and B43. The work focuses on upgrading the domestic water system to improve pressure and circulation by replacing the existing 4-inch supply with 6-inch feeds for each double feed, adding new backflow preventers, and routing a 6-inch trunk line back to the campus water main. Piping is typically C900 6-inch (or larger) while entering buildings is reduced to 4 inches, with B42 and B43 reportedly using 6–8 inch ductile iron in some segments. The goal is to eliminate dead legs and create a circulating system to resolve pressure issues caused by prior renovations.
This is a market research effort, not a solicitation. Responses will inform acquisition strategy and potential set-aside decisions (including SDVOSB/VOSB suitability) if a solicitation is issued and a competitive, fair-price award can be made. Project magnitude is anticipated at $1–$2 million, with about 180 days for the design phase from Notice to Proceed and a total contract duration around 725 days. Interested firms should use the attached Sources Sought Questionnaire and submit responses via the designated process; no phone inquiries. Responses are due by Friday, February 6, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST.

We are seeking information for market research purposes only. The Government will not pay for any information solicited. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 6 (NCO 6) is conducting market research to identify potential sources for Architect-Engineer services to complete the scope of work below for Mechanical Fix and Piping for Building B2, B3, B11, B42, B43 and B21. (Project #659-26-400) located at the W.G. (Bill) Hefner Salisbury VA Medical Center in Salisbury, North Carolina. The proposed NAICS 541330 Engineering Services is applicable to this acquisition; with a size standard of $25.5 Million. The proposed PSC code is C1DA Architect and Engineering Construction- Hospital and Infirmaries. The anticipated Magnitude of Construction is between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000. The anticipated Period of Performance for design is 180 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed with an estimated total contract period of 725 days. Scope of Work This project will consist of the improving circulation systems for Building B2, B3, B3, B11, B42, B43 and B21. Existing Building domestic water lines were installed in 1950 and typically divided into vertical risers that dead end on the top floor. In addition, Building B2, B3, B3, B11, and B21 have suffered from water pressure over the years due to all the renovations and demands of new spaces. This project will replace the existing 4 supply to a 6 supply for each double feed, in addition provide new backflow preventer. The new 6 trunk line shall be replaced back to the water main located around campus. Typical C900 pipe is located three feet from all building are 6 or higher in diameter piping. The 6 pipe is reduced to 4 as it enters each building. Exception of this condition can be found at B42 and B42 where pipe is 6 to 8 ductile iron piping. Intent of this project is to improve water pressure and tie the dead legs to create circulating system. Small Business Requirements For market research purposes, all responses to this notice will be reviewed, regardless of small business/socioeconomic category, including those firms that are identified as large businesses.
