Description
The Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office is soliciting a firm‑fixed‑price contract to perform triennial testing of medium‑ and low‑voltage electrical distribution equipment at the Reno VA Medical Center. The work includes visual/mechanical inspections, insulation resistance and dielectric tests of MV switches, transformers, circuit breakers, and feeder cables, as well as protective‑relay testing, arc‑flash label updates, and a coordinated study/arc‑flash analysis that must be sealed by a professional engineer. All testing is to be performed during off‑hours (18:00‑06:00) and weekends, with two invoicing milestones—one after field‑testing acceptance and another after the coordination study is accepted. The award will be a total‑value contract (approximately $19 M) set‑aside for Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB).
• Scope covers 11 MV switches, 10 MV transformers, 477 circuit breakers, 570 feeder cables, and 27 LV transformers.
• Requires 5 years of relevant experience, NETA‑certified technicians, OSHA safety training, and compliance with VAAR 852.219‑75 (75 % special‑trade limitation) and VAAR 852.219‑73 (total SDVOSB set‑aside).
• Deliverables include detailed test reports, photographs, updated single‑line diagrams, arc‑flash analysis, and cost estimates for any deficiencies.
