The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting market research for the full replacement of pad-mounted electrical transformers at the St. Albans Medical Center in Queens, NY, with an estimated construction cost between $500,000 and $1,000,000. This future procurement is anticipated to be a 100% set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), which must be registered in SAM.gov and verified in the SBA's certification database. The performance period is 52 weeks, and the anticipated award date for the construction contract is on or before April 30, 2026. Respondents must demonstrate their ability to comply with subcontracting limitations, requiring the prime contractor to self-perform at least 15% of the contract cost, excluding materials. The capability statement must detail the percentage of work to be self-performed, the specific disciplines, and information on any proposed subcontractors.
