7230--DOMILICILARY WINDOW TREATMENTS

The Department of Veterans Affairs has issued solicitation 36C24626Q0250 for the procurement and installation of domiciliary window treatments. This requirement centers on the provision of anti-ligature window shades designed for a behavioral health unit, specifically intended to prevent tampering through the use of security box fascias. The project scope includes the removal of existing valences and window treatments, followed by the installation of new systems that meet stringent safety and environmental standards, including GREENGUARD and NFPA 701 certifications. The basis of design specifies the Webblok Shade System and WT Shades CF200 SoloMount, or functional equals that possess salient characteristics such as 3% openness solar fabric and custom arched fascias.

The government prefers a combination of square and curved fascias, though all anti-ligature options are considered. For arched windows, the Department of Veterans Affairs requires custom fascias, with a preference that the valences match the shade material. If vendors propose equal products rather than the specific basis of design brands, a sample or demonstration is required within two weeks of the bid submission. Eight attachments accompany the solicitation, including building layouts and multiple amendments issued through March 26, 2026.

This opportunity is classified under NAICS 337920 for Blind and Shade Manufacturing and PSC 7230 for Draperies, Awnings, and Shades. Responses are due by March 30, 2026. The primary point of contact for this requirement is Ruth A. Morris. All work must be performed in accordance with the statement of work, which mandates that custom fabrication for arched valences is approved if necessary to meet the architectural requirements of the facility.
