The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole-source contract to Nalco Water for proprietary water management services at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center. The work involves maintaining and operating three specific monochloramine water treatment systems and twenty-two monitoring units to ensure regulatory compliance. The contract is for the continuation of services, including system maintenance, chemical supply, monitoring, and meeting all State of Ohio EPA Public Water System requirements. The government has determined Nalco Water is the only responsible source due to the proprietary nature of the installed system and its integrated software and controls. While this is a notice of intent and not a competitive solicitation, any other interested party must submit a detailed capability statement proving they are fully authorized and equipped by Nalco Water to perform all required services.
