The VA is conducting market research, not a solicitation, for a general contractor to construct Community Living Center Phase 2 at the Harry S. Truman VA Medical Center, 800 Hospital Drive, Columbia, MO 65201. The work is a 24-bed, 20,400 sq ft two-story addition to the Phase 1 CLC, including site preparation, demolition, and all labor, materials, and equipment for a complete design-bid-build project. It is anticipated as a competitive firm-fixed-price RFP under FAR Part 15, with any socioeconomic set-aside determined by market research responses. The construction magnitude is between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000 under NAICS 236220, and performance is estimated at 790 calendar days from Notice to Proceed. The project is planned for advertising in late November 2026, and interested contractors should provide capability statements covering bonding capacity, relevant past projects, self-performed effort, and key personnel.
