Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the NETWORK CONTRACT OFFICE 23 (36C263), has issued Amendment 3 to a solicitation for Women's Clinic Window Treatments at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System in Minneapolis, MN. This opportunity is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside. The amendment addresses vendor questions and extends the quote due date.
Scope of Work
This solicitation is for the provision and installation of window treatments for the Women's Clinic. The scope includes specific requirements for shade splitting in rooms such as the lactation room (80-103), shared medical appointment room (80-104), and M.H. Consult Rooms (80-108 & 80-109) to accommodate size limitations or high width:height ratios. Bidders must field verify the feasibility of shade installation in Patient Corridor 80-C1-02 due to limited frame depth. Electrical drawings are provided for motorized shades, and a full set of architectural drawings is attached.
The comprehensive architectural and engineering drawings (Revision 6, dated 09/09/2025) for the "Women's Clinic and Mammography Addition" project provide essential technical specifications. These drawings detail roof construction, interior walls, curtain wall systems, casework, waterproofing, window types, material and room finish schedules, wayfinding signage, furniture/equipment layouts, and extensive mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) plans. Bidders must review these documents thoroughly to understand the full scope of work, material requirements, and installation standards for the window treatments within the broader project context.
