- Description
- THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) NOTICE ONLY. This notice does NOT constitute a request for proposal, request for quote, or invitation for bid. No formal solicitation document exists currently. We are seeking information for market research purposes ONLY. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Responders are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this RFI. The Government will not pay for any information solicited. The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting a market survey to find qualified vendors who can provide and install an exhaust fan with associated materials to increase negative air exchange to 10 Air Changes per Hour (ACH) in the Sterile Processing Department (SPD) room D2010E in Building 1 at the Durham Veterans Affairs Health Care System (VAHCS), 508 Fulton St, Durham, NC 27705. The Contractor shall provide all transportation, materials, parts, tools, specialized equipment, HEPA carts, labor, supervision, quality control, and technical expertise to procure and install an exhaust fan with associated materials that serve SPD room D2010 to increase negative air exchange to 10ACH. The window will need to be removed in D2010F to install a louver and panel for the exhaust. This is a turn-key request, with the Contractor providing all the parts and performing all the work. In response, please include the following: Company/individual name Address Point of contact with phone number Information describing your interest Indicate FSS/GSA contract number or Open Market, if applicable Tax ID number DUNS number Company Socio-Economic SIZE (for example large, small, SDVOSB, VOSB, WOSB, etc.) Proof of verification as an SDVOSB/VOSB (if applicable) If your firm/company is an SDVOSB or VOSB, the firm/company must be VERIFIED in the Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert) database (see internet site: Veteran Small Business Certification (sba.gov) ) as prescribed under the Veterans First Contracting Program as implemented in VAAR subpart 819.70. The Veteran Administration is mandated by Public Law 109-461 (38 USC ยง 8127 & 8128) to give priority to SDVOSB and VOSB concerns if there should be sufficient firms available to compete under a set-aside. If insufficient veteran-owned small business responses are received to establish the basis for setting this action aside for other than large business participation, then the action will be advertised as a small business set aside or full and open competition. In this case, all interested parties responding shall be eligible to submit a quote. The NAICS 333413 applies to this acquisition, with a size standard of 500 Employees. Interested firms are reminded that in accordance with FAR 4.1201(a), Prospective contractors shall complete electronic annual representations and certifications at the System for Award Management (SAM) as part of the required registration in conjunction with FAR 4.1102(a), which states that Prospective contractors shall be registered in the (SAM) database prior to award of a contract or agreement. Therefore, due to time constraints, vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at http://www.sam.gov to be considered for an award. This RFI will be conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13. Telephone responses will not be accepted. Responses must be received via e-mail to chellry.whittier@va.gov no later than 09:00 AM Eastern Standard Time (EDT) on May 24, 2024. This notice will help the VA in determining available potential sources only. Do not contact VA Medical Center staff regarding this requirement, as they are not authorized to discuss this matter related to this procurement action. All questions will be addressed by the Contracting Specialist, Chellry Whittier. All firms responding to this Request for Information are advised that their response is not a request for a quote; therefore, it will not be considered for a contract award. If a solicitation is issued, the information will be posted on Contract Opportunities https://beta.sam.gov for all qualified interested parties at a later date, and interested parties must respond to the solicitation to be considered for award. This notice does not commit the Government to contract for any supplies or services. The Government will not pay for any information or administrative cost incurred in response to this Request for Information. Information will only be accepted in writing by e-mail to the Contracting Specialist at chellry.whittier@va.gov. DISCLAIMER This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation.
