Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), through its PCAC office, is soliciting proposals for the EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades Construction project (Project 673-20-107) at the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa, FL. This is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside with an estimated value between $20,000,000 and $50,000,000. Proposals are due April 8, 2026, by 1:00 PM ET.
Scope of Work
The project involves comprehensive general construction, infrastructure upgrades, and renovation of existing spaces across multiple buildings and trailers within the hospital campus. Key requirements include upgrades to electrical systems, bonding, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), Building Management System (BMS) interfaces, HVAC, communication, physical security, and fiber infrastructure backbone. The scope also covers work on roads, walks, grading, drainage, other existing utilities, Data Center WAN updates, and hazardous material abatement. Notably, the use of "Johnson Controls Direct Digital Controls" for HVAC is a brand-name justified requirement due to existing infrastructure.
Contract Details
This is a Firm-Fixed-Price contract with a 900-calendar day period of performance after receipt of the Notice to Proceed. It is a 100% SDVOSB set-aside, requiring offerors to be SBA certified at the time of submission and award. Bidders must adhere to limitations on subcontracting, ensuring that for general construction, no more than 85% of the government's payment goes to non-SDVOSB/VOSB firms (excluding material costs). A Bid Guarantee (SF 24) of not less than 20% of the proposal price (not to exceed $3,000,000) is required, along with Payment and Performance Bonds upon award. Prevailing wage rates for Hillsborough County, FL, apply.
Submission & Evaluation
Proposals must be submitted via email to jason.phillip@va.gov (cc: bridget.may@va.gov) by April 8, 2026, 1:00 PM ET. Submissions should be organized into three searchable PDF volumes (Past Performance, Price, Administrative), sent in separate emails, each under 5MB. Evaluation criteria prioritize Past Performance (significantly more important than Price). Offerors must demonstrate relevant past performance with 2-3 projects exceeding $20 million within the last five years, involving phased construction in an active healthcare setting. Required attachments include a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), Project Information Sheet, Division Cost Breakdown, and a Subcontracting Limitations Certification.
