Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office 23 has issued a Notice of Intent to award a sole‑source contract for fire‑suppression and emergency‑response services to the City of Minneapolis. Interested parties may submit a capabilities statement and answer a short questionnaire by the deadline; no competitive solicitation will be issued. The contract will cover full‑time fire‑suppression and emergency‑response capabilities for the VA Medical Center campus and related facilities in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
• Scope: Provide fire‑suppression, alarm response, hazardous‑material spill response, confined‑space rescue, and related emergency services for the VA campus (and Fort Snelling).
• Submission: Capabilities statement plus answers to three required questions (socio‑economic status, existing contracts, subcontracting percentages) due 23 Oct 2026, 16:00 CT.
• Sole‑source rationale: VA asserts only one responsible source (the City of Minneapolis) can meet the requirement; if no viable responses are received, VA will negotiate directly with the City.
