ously awarded a competitively bid contract to furnish 100% Construction Documents for this project. Although the current design contract is 100% complete, the period of performance for CPS has expired and the VA now has a need for the necessary Construction Period Services (CPS), which will allow for administration of this project throughout construction, utilizing this firm s construction design documents. Design Build Consortium, LLC has the experience and technical knowledge to continue to perform these services, without the duplication of costs, labor efforts and unwarranted time delays. The 100% Construction Documents were completed by Design Build Consortium, LLC for the original design of this project. This procurement will be made under 41 USC §3304(a)(5), 38 U.S. Code § 8127(c), as implemented by RFO 6.103-5 (Authorized or Required by Statute). The requirement will be awarded using the non-competitive (sole source) procedures authorized in VAAR 819.7008 (DEVIATION) Sole source awards to a certified service-disabled veteran owned small business (SDVOSB) - up to $5,000,000. A Notice of Justification & Approval document will be made available via Contract Opportunities in accordance with FAR 6.301 after award. This is a notice of intent of a sole source contract and not a request for competitive proposals. No solicitation will be available or issued for this requirement. If a firm believes that VA should not pursue this sole source procurement with the AE firm Design Build Consortium, LLC then they should submit information by 5:00 pm (Eastern Time) on September 9, 2026, to Melissa Everett at Melissa.Everett@va.gov . No telephone responses/inquiries will be accepted. The Department of Veterans Affairs will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this notice of intent.
