Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Announcement (RFI) to identify qualified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) firms.

This includes approximately 325 electrical panels, 15 medium voltage transformers, 120 low voltage dry-type transformers, 220 fused/non-fused switches, 6 generators, and 25 automatic transfer switches. Work must comply with NETA Maintenance and Testing Specifications (2019 ed.), the latest NEC, VHA Directive 1028, NFPA 99, and NFPA 110. Much of the work will need to be performed after hours, at night, or on weekends, requiring a 4-week notice for power outages.
