The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), through its Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC), has issued a Sources Sought Notice to conduct market research for the upcoming EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades project at the Alexandria VA Medical Center in Pineville, Louisiana. This notice, identified under procurement number 36C77626Q0207, is intended solely for information gathering and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation or a commitment by the government.
The primary objective of this procurement is to identify qualified contractors capable of executing comprehensive infrastructure upgrades to support the Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) initiative. The scope of work encompasses a wide range of construction and renovation activities across multiple buildings within the Alexandria VA Medical Center campus and several associated Community-Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs), including those in Jennings, Lafayette, and Natchitoches, as well as the Fort Polk CBOC.
Key elements of the project include:
- Upgrades to electrical systems, including panel upgrades and enhancements to both normal and emergency power supplies.
- Improvements to bonding, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, and building management system interfaces.
- Assessment and potential upgrades to existing HVAC systems.
- Reconfiguration, expansion, and renovation of existing spaces, which may involve demolition, new construction, and interior finishes.
- Data center enhancements, such as relocation of racks and cabinets, cable management, and installation of new data outlets, patch panels, and Cat 6A cabling.
- Upgrades to communication infrastructure and physical security systems.
- Assessment and upgrade of the fiber infrastructure backbone, both within and between buildings, including the provision of diversified paths for wide area network connections.
- Hazardous material abatement as required.
The project will be delivered via a competitive, firm-fixed-price contract using the design-bid-build approach, with final specifications and drawings to be provided. The anticipated magnitude of construction is between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000, and the estimated project duration is 820 calendar days from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with a size standard of $45 million.
Contractors interested in this opportunity are requested to submit a capabilities statement that addresses their experience and qualifications in relation to the outlined scope. Submissions should include company information, business size and type, bonding capacity, relevant project experience (with up to three comparable projects completed within the past seven years), and a description of self-performed work. This information will be used to determine the appropriate procurement strategy, including potential socio-economic set-asides.

All submissions are due by May 21, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET, and must be sent via email to the designated points of contact: Andrew Mathews ([email protected]) and Scott Elias ([email protected]).
