Eligibility / Set-Aside
Market research identified 1,326 small businesses (SDVOSB/VOSB) under NAICS 811310. However, due to the urgent nature of the requirement (main fire water pump failure affecting patient areas), additional market research was not conducted, leading to a restricted competition award.
Additional Notes
The main fire water pump system at the VAMC experienced a failure, with the motor and motor/pump coupling failing. Nelbud Services was selected as a local vendor familiar with the site and capable of providing quick repairs to address this critical emergency.
