Description
The VA is conducting market research to identify firms capable of performing an initial asbestos inspection and subsequent semi‑annual re‑inspections at the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Respondents will provide capability statements, SAM registration details, and SDVOSB/VOSB certification where applicable; no price quotes are required at this stage. The work will ultimately involve comprehensive building‑wide asbestos surveys, sampling, laboratory analysis, labeling, and development of an Asbestos Operations & Maintenance plan, with a potential contract base year plus four optional one‑year extensions.
• Full‑facility asbestos identification, sampling, and analysis per VHA Directive 7714, OSHA, EPA, and state regulations.
• Development of a detailed Asbestos Management/O&M Plan, labeling, signage, and bi‑annual re‑inspection schedule.
• Requirement to be a registered SAM entity; SDVOSB/VOSB firms receive preference and must attach VetCert certification.
• All responses to be submitted by email to the VA Contract Specialist by 1 PM ET, Oct 21 2026.
