Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Network Contract Office 17, has issued a Solicitation (36C25726R0048) for the replacement of all exterior windows in Building 2J at the VA Medical Center in Dallas, TX. This project, estimated between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside. Proposals are due February 3, 2026, at 10:00 AM CST.
Scope of Work
The project requires all labor, materials, and supervision to replace operable, non-operable, skylights, atriums, storefront, and glass at all levels of Building 2J. Work must comply with current building codes and energy efficiency standards, ensuring a waterproof installation. Key requirements include replacing skylight framing to meet wind pressure, matching existing window sizes and mullion spacing, and using anodized dark bronze frames with green tint glazing. Notably, Amendment 0005 removed the requirement for windows to be blast resistant. Pharmacy area windows require specific security measures (e.g., woven security mesh or approved films). Interior finish repairs are also part of the scope. A non-subcontractable Superintendent must be on-site during work.
