Opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs is soliciting proposals for a firm-fixed-price construction project to address Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) deficiencies at the Consolidated Mail-Order Pharmacy (CMOP) in Tucson, Arizona. The scope includes labor, materials, equipment, and commissioning for upgrades to the emergency electrical system, physical security, HVAC, and roofing. The contractor must maintain 24/7 facility operations throughout construction, which involves installing emergency generators, fuel tanks, and loading dock extensions. Proposals are due July 16, 2026. Evaluation is based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, with a 15% self-performance requirement for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). Technical documentation includes a 40-sheet drawing set, topographic surveys, and geotechnical evaluations requiring 3 to 5 feet of over-excavation due to unsuitable on-site soils. Coordination with the VA is required for all work to ensure minimal disruption to mission-critical activities, including mandatory 48-hour and 60-day notice periods for service interruptions. This firm-fixed-price contract addresses FCA deficiencies and physical security at the Tucson CMOP. Project 762-24-101 includes labor, materials, and commissioning for all construction phases, from permitting to final manuals. This project for the Tucson CMOP involves upgrading the emergency electrical system, modifying loading docks, and improving HVAC and roofing systems.
