SOURCES SOUGHT #VA701-17-N-0043 The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking sources that can provide miscellaneous scientific equipment as part of the initial outfitting and activation of the new VA Medical Center in Aurora, CO. Items are separated into groupings below as they are expected to be grouped in future solicitations. The scope of work will include delivery to the destination (FOB Destination). Some items may require installation. Interested vendors will be asked to identify whether they are able to provide installation in addition to delivery of the item. Vendors will provide this information as a part of the attached excel spreadsheet, titled Interested Vendor Response Summary, which they will complete and return with their submission. Please note, the site is considered an active construction site while the construction contractor is still performing work. Personnel that will be providing installation services will be required to wear safety gear such as hard hats, over the ankle boots, reflective safety vests, eye protection, and gloves. The Contractor will be required to coordinate delivery or delivery/installation (as applicable) with the designated Contracting Officer s Representative (COR) after award. The estimated timeframe for delivery/installation is March 2017. However, since the construction contractor is still on site, delivery dates may need to be adjusted to accommodate the construction/facility activation schedule. Descriptions of the items are listed below. This sources sought notice is for market research purposes only. A determination on the contract type, mechanism for procuring the services, and possible set-aside will not be made by the Government until after the market research has been completed.
