Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 29, 2026.
- Worth checking: Large hospital renovation with abatement. Construction over $10,000,000 in a working hospital, with asbestos and lead abatement and infection control, needs strong bonding and specialized experience.
- Worth checking: Set-aside not yet decided. The VA will decide from responses whether to set this aside, possibly for SDVOSB or VOSB firms in the SBA VetCert database, so responding can shape who may bid.
- Minor: No phone or fax questions. The VA won't answer fax or phone inquiries, and no more scope or date details will be given before the solicitation.
