The VA's Network Contracting Office 7 plans to buy inspection, testing, calibration, maintenance and infrared scanning of VA-owned electrical power distribution equipment at the Atlanta VA Health Care System (Main Campus, Fort McPherson clinic and Trinka-Davis Veterans Village clinic). This is a presolicitation set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB). The notice text only points to the attached presolicitation notice, and the Statement of Work that holds the details was not provided.
Watch out for
- Statement of Work not provided. The notice body only says to see the attached notice, and the attachment refers to a Statement of Work that was not included, so scope, equipment list and pricing structure are unknown.
See attahed notice.
- Set-aside limits who can bid. Only SDVOSB firms can compete, so a business without that certification cannot win this award.
- Work in occupied healthcare facilities. Testing electrical distribution equipment in working medical facilities likely needs careful scheduling and safety planning, though the notice does not give the rules.

- Response time differs between sources. The attachment says 0900 Eastern while the SAM.gov deadline field says 10:00 AM Eastern; submit early or confirm with the Contracting Officer.
