a. The purpose of this amendment is to notify all offerors/bidders that this solicitation resulted in no award. The VA may resolicit at a later date.

This contract involves the inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire alarm systems, with specific quarterly and semi-annual tasks detailed. A fire alarm system in Building 65 at the St. Albans location is down and must be bypassed; inspection and testing for that building are not required while it is out of service. Deficiencies discovered after an initial 10-day window will be covered under the contract's repair section. Pricing must be based solely on the Statement of Work (SOW), not on attached historical inspection summaries. A known discrepancy at the St. Albans location is being corrected separately and is not part of this contract's required work.

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for fire alarm system maintenance, repair, inspection, and testing services set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). The services are required at three VA facilities in New York: the Brooklyn campus (800 Poly Place), the Manhattan campus (423 E. 23rd Street), and the St. Albans Community Living Center in Queens. The period of performance is for a one-year base period beginning May 1, 2026, followed by four one-year option periods. The scope includes quarterly, semi-annual, and annual inspections, sensitivity testing for over 1,000 smoke detectors, 24/7 monitoring, emergency repair labor at various rates, and the creation and maintenance of system inventory and schematic diagrams. Specific technical qualifications are required, including NICET certification and the ability to program Notifier and Edwards fire alarm systems.
