Y1DA--437-23-105 Replace Fire Alarm System 437-26-1-6690-0001

The Department of Veterans Affairs is amending solicitation 36C26326B0004‑0001 (Project 437‑23‑105) for the full replacement of the fire‑alarm system at the Fargo VAMC. This SDVOSB‑only award (NAICS 236220) requires the contractor to remove and replace all detection devices, wiring, conduit, notification appliances, panels, power supplies, smoke/duct/heat detectors, elevator‑recall initiators, door‑hold relays, and related components in an active, fully‑sprinkled hospital, in compliance with the VA Fire Protection Manual (9th ed., 2023), NFPA 72 and NFPA 101. The scope includes a deferred submittal of a complete, code‑compliant design and installation plan subject to inspection, and the de‑commissioning and demolition of the existing system only after the new system is operational and accepted. The contractor assumes responsibility for any additional asbestos testing beyond the attached 2022 survey reports, covering cost and schedule, and must coordinate any newly discovered hazards with the VA. A dedicated superintendent is required (cannot serve in SSHO or QC roles), and all bonds (bid, payment, performance) may be submitted as scanned copies. The period of performance is 540 calendar days after notice to proceed; taxes must be included in the proposal, and no North Dakota sales‑tax exemption will be provided. Offers must acknowledge receipt of this amendment and be submitted electronically to Contracting Officer Dwayne Brauch (dwayne.brauch@va.gov) by 10:00 a.m. CT on December 18, 2025. All questions must be emailed to the same address by 10:00 a.m. CT on December 2, 2025; answers will be issued via amendment. Failure to acknowledge the amendment or to meet the submission deadlines will result in rejection. Compliance with the asbestos documentation, dedicated staffing requirements, and the SDVOSB verification in the VIP database are critical to a successful offer.
