The VA Illiana Health Care System in Danville, IL wants to set up a multiple-award construction contract (MATOC) so it can order building maintenance, repair, alteration, and new construction work over a 5-year ordering period. It is reserved for certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). Bidders also price one starter job, the "seed project", renovating bathrooms in buildings 103 and 64/72. Total orders under the contract can reach $21 million.
Watch out for
- Conflicting due dates. The documents give three different deadlines (Oct 20, 21, and 22, 2026), so a bidder could miss the real one without checking with the contracting office.
