The VA's Network Contracting Office 21 wants a contractor to build a new 2,500-square-foot, one-story modular MRI and CT imaging center at the VA clinic in French Camp (Stockton), California. It is a firm-fixed-price construction job set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, with 557 calendar days to finish after notice to proceed. This Amendment 0001 only adds the sign-in sheet from the September 29, 2026 site visit; quotes are due October 21, 2026.
Watch out for
- Strict responsiveness rules; missing items disqualify. Leaving out the bid bond, price breakdown sheet, solicitation pages, amendment acknowledgment or subcontracting certificate can get the quote thrown out.
Failure to submit a bid bond will result in your quote being removed from further consideration.
- Large project needing three bonds. A $5 million to $10 million job needs bid, performance and payment bonds, which many small firms cannot get without strong bonding capacity.
the magnitude of the project is between $5,000,000.00 and $10,000,000.00.
- Specialized healthcare construction scope. MRI and CT shell space, seismic certification, integration with Siemens BAS, Honeywell fire alarm and other VA campus systems, and Level IV infection control are demanding for a first-time VA builder.
The rooms housing the MRI and CT equipment shall be left unfinished which is considered the shell space.
- Contractor pays for all third-party inspections and testing. The VA does not inspect or pay for required inspections, so these costs must be priced in.
Comprehensive 3rd party inspections, testing and written reports for all Divisions (paid by the General Contractor).
- Detailed subcontractor pricing disclosure. You must show line-by-line pricing for yourself and every subcontractor, which exposes your cost structure and requires early sub quotes.
this project requires pricing proposals to include breakdown pricing for the General Contractor and all subcontractors
- Short time to respond and questions deadline has passed. The RFI deadline was October 6, 2026 and the site visit was held September 29, 2026, so remaining questions can only be answered at the Government's discretion.
Deadline for submission of all RFIs for this solicitation is October 06, 2026 at 12:00 PM PT.
- Site visit already held. This amendment only posts the sign-in sheet from the September 29, 2026 visit; the offeror still must satisfy itself on site conditions and carries the risk of its own conclusions.
to provide the sign-in roster for the Site Visit conducted on September 29,2026
- Long 557-day schedule with phased work in an operating clinic. Work is phased around an active VA campus with limited off-hours time, utility shutdowns and VA security rules, which affects staffing and cost.
Project Completion: 557 calendar days from when Notice To Proceed (NTP) is issued.
