Quick Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically NETWORK CONTRACT OFFICE 02 (36C242), has issued a Solicitation for a Design-Build project to upgrade the HVAC systems in Buildings 4 and 5 at the New York Harbor VA Medical Center in New York, NY. This project addresses critical cooling needs for patient care and equipment. This opportunity is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside. Proposals are due by March 4, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET.

Scope of Work

The project requires design and construction services to upgrade the AC Plants in Buildings 4 and 5. This includes the installation of three new chillers and associated cooling towers, which generate additional heat. Contractors will need to implement cooling solutions for new variable frequency drive (VFD) cabinets that also generate substantial heat and have caused equipment shutdowns during peak summer loads due to insufficient existing ventilation. Additionally, electrical switchgear upgrades are necessary to ensure minimum cooling for the Main Hospital to support patient care.
