Quick Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Phoenix VA Healthcare System, is soliciting proposals for the OR Air-Cooled Chiller Replacement Installation at the Carl T. Hyden VA Medical Center in Phoenix, AZ. This project involves replacing an existing rooftop air-cooled chiller system with a Government-furnished York chiller. Offers are due by March 23, 2026, at 16:00 MST.

Scope of Work

The contractor will provide all labor, materials, transportation, rigging, and equipment necessary for the installation. Key tasks include:

  • Coordinating delivery and craning the new chiller to the 7th-floor mechanical area.
  • Disconnecting, demolishing, and removing existing equipment.
  • Installing new isolation valves, butterfly valves, air bleeders, piping, fittings, and insulation.
  • Completing electrical conductor and mechanical piping connections.
  • Performing manufacturer-required startup, system commissioning, and testing.
  • Providing complete turnover documentation.
  • Ensuring compliance with all applicable VA, federal, and manufacturer requirements.
  • Guaranteeing workmanship and materials for at least 30 days.

Contract & Timeline

  • Contract Type: Firm-Fixed Price
  • Period of Performance: 6 months from contract award, with an installation window of 8 days once started.
  • Estimated Value: $19 Million (from SF 1449 Block 9).
  • Questions Due: March 19, 2026, at 14:00 MST.
  • Offers Due: March 23, 2026, at 16:00 MST.

Eligibility & Set-Aside

While the SF 1449 Block 10 indicates this acquisition is UNRESTRICTED, VA Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) clauses 852.219-73 and 852.219-75 specify requirements for certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) and adherence to limitations on subcontracting. This suggests a strong preference or effective set-aside for SDVOSBs.

Submission & Evaluation

Offers must be submitted via email to jessica.brooks3@va.gov. The award will be made on a best-value tradeoff basis, considering both price and non-price factors. Evaluation factors include:

  • Technical Approach
  • Experience
  • Price
  • Past Performance
  • Required Documents

  • VA Form 10091 (Vendor File Request Form)
