Quick Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the VHA Network Contracting Office 5 (NCO 5), is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice for the Construction of a New Boiler Plant (Project Number 581-22-109) at the Hershel "Woody" Williams VA Medical Center in Huntington, WV.

Purpose

This is a Sources Sought Notice for market research purposes only and does not constitute a request for proposal, quote, or invitation for bid. No formal solicitation exists at this time. The government will not pay for any information submitted. Responses will inform the acquisition strategy and potential set-aside requirements.

Scope of Work

The project requires all labor, materials, tools, equipment, transportation, supervision, coordination, and services necessary for the construction of a new boiler plant.
