Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Network Contracting Office 17, has issued a Pre-Solicitation Notice for a Design-Build Construction Services contract to construct a new Garland Energy Center at the Garland VA Medical Center in Garland, TX. This project is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside with an estimated magnitude between $50,000,000 and $100,000,000. The Request for Proposals (RFP) is anticipated to be issued on or about February 27, 2026, with proposals due by March 23, 2026.
Scope of Work
The existing energy infrastructure at the Garland VA Medical Center is outdated and cannot support future demands.

This center will be located in the northwest parking lot and connected to the main hospital and outlying building (900 Shiloh) via a walkable utility tunnel. The scope includes comprehensive design services (architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, etc.) and all labor, materials, and services for construction. A Central Utility Plant Study (March 2024) and utility as-builts are provided as SOW attachments.
