The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Healthcare System is issuing a Sources‑Sought notice (Solicitation 36C24426Q0132) to identify qualified small businesses that can provide Controlled Environment Testing Association (CETA) certification services for nine VA hospitals in Pennsylvania. The effort will be split into two future solicitations—West (Altoona, Butler, Erie, Pittsburgh) and East (Coatesville, Lebanon, Philadelphia, Wilkes‑Barre, Wilmington)—and vendors may submit quotes for either or both regions. Required testing includes HEPA filter leak tests, surface and air microbial/fungal sampling, non‑viable particle counting to determine ISO ratings, smoke‑pattern testing, diffuser cleaning, pre‑filter checks, and, for secondary environments, airflow measurements to calculate Air Exchanges Per Hour. Responses must be submitted by 10:00 a.m. EST on 11 December 2025 via email to Loretta Payne (loretta.payne@va.gov). Offerors must provide complete company information (name, address, CAGE, UEI, point of contact), a completed socio‑economic questionnaire confirming small‑business status under NAICS 541380, veteran‑owned (VOSB) or service‑disabled veteran‑owned (SDVOSB) eligibility per 38 U.S.C. 8127(e,f) and VAAR 819.7003, HUBZone, woman‑owned, and GSA/FSS schedule details, as well as a capability statement and supporting literature. Only SBA‑verified SDVOSB/VOSB firms are eligible; this is a total small‑business set‑aside (FAR 19.5). No phone inquiries will be accepted.
