This announcement is for informational purposes only. The Syracuse VA Medical Center intends to award a contract for Architect/Engineer (A/E) Design Services, NAICS 541310, to provide a design to replace windows in Bldg 1 and 2 at the Medical Center. The Medical Center will use the short selection process defined in FAR 36.602-5 (a). As such, the VA intends to evaluate the technical qualifications of all Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses (SDVOSB) E firms that are currently on file. The VA will identify the three most highly qualified SDVOSB A/E firms who have responded to competitive solicitations over the past 12 months. The geographic range being considered for this selection is 300 miles from 800 Irving Avenue Syracuse, NY 13210 and only firms on file within that range will be considered. Existing information on file indicates that the socio-economic set-aside within this geographic radius is service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Firms wishing to be considered who are within the 300 mile radius but have not submitted a technical qualifications package within the past 12 calendar months may submit a SF 330 listing qualifications to the attention of: Sandra L Fisher, Contract Specialist, VA Medical Center, 800 Irving Ave, Syracuse, NY 13210. Firms who have previously submitted qualifications need not resubmit unless they wish to alter the packages previously submitted. SF 330's must be received at the Syracuse VA Medical Center by 4:30 pm, February 26, 2014. SDVOSB A/E firms must be verified in VetBiz (www.vetbiz.gov) to receive consideration.
