Quick Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Network Contract Office 17, is soliciting proposals for the replacement of all exterior windows in Building 2J at the Dallas VA Medical Center, 4500 S Lancaster Rd, Dallas, TX 75216. This project, valued between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). The proposal due date is February 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM CST.

Scope of Work

The project entails providing all labor, materials, and supervision to replace operable, non-operable, skylights, atriums, storefront, and general glass in Building 2J. All work must comply with current building codes and energy efficiency standards, ensuring a waterproof installation. Key aspects include:

  • Replacing existing skylight framing to meet current wind pressure requirements.
  • New windows must match existing size and mullion spacing.
  • Window frames will be anodized dark bronze, with green tint laminated glazing (inner lite laminated, outer lite tempered for Insulated Glazing Units).
  • Blast resistance requirements apply to specific PSRDM sections for glazed aluminum curtain walls, and exterior glazing must be laminated.
  • Pharmacy area windows require specific security measures, such as stainless steel woven security mesh or approved security window films.
  • Interior work includes repairing damaged finishes (paint, drywall, windowsills, wall coverings).
  • Contractors are responsible for moving furniture and equipment, coordinating with the VA.

Key Requirements

Offerors must be certified SDVOSB and registered in SAM.gov. The contract designation has been updated to "General Construction" (NAICS 236220). A Bid Guarantee is required, and the awardee must obtain Performance and Payment Bonds. A dedicated, non-subcontracted Superintendent must be on-site during work. Davis Bacon Act wage requirements apply. Asbestos inspection reports indicate no asbestos-containing materials were found in Building 2J as of 2010/2012.

Contract Details & Timeline

  • Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price
  • Performance Period: 548 calendar days after Notice to Proceed
  • Warranty: One (1) year performance agreement for labor and material, plus manufacturer's warranty.
  • Proposal Due Date: February 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM CST (latest amendment).
  • RFI Due Date: January 13, 2026, at 10:00 AM CST.
  • Site Visits: Two site visits were conducted on December 17, 2025, and January 8, 2026. No further site visits will be arranged.

Submission & Evaluation

Proposals must be submitted via email to nicholas.smith21@va.gov and Rhonda.richardson5@va.gov. Submissions require four volumes: Technical Acceptability (5 pages), Past Performance (40 pages), Price/Cost (using Attachment 4 Itemized Cost Breakdown), and Solicitation/Amendments/Certifications. All documents must be separate, searchable PDFs. Past Performance is more important than Price in the evaluation, with Technical Acceptability (EMR) also a key factor. Past performance will consider projects completed in the last 8 years or valued at $2M+.

Important Notes

Multiple amendments have been issued, with the latest (Amendment 0008) extending the proposal due date and including additional documents like RFIs with responses and Addendum 01. Addendum 01 clarifies drawing and specification changes, including the removal of certain specification sections (e.g., for blast resistant windows) and the addition of others (e.g., Self-Adhered Air Barrier, Door Hardware, Metal-Framed Skylights). Bidders must review all amendments and included documents to ensure compliance with the latest requirements.
