Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
The solicitation appears to have a closely related prior contract with VET First Constructors under 36C26024C0069 (CON NRM 668-21-102), valued at $1,741,681 and performed from 09/30/24 to 04/30/26. That prior effort involved upgrading mechanical systems for AHUs (noted as “AHU-1/4”), and the current requirement similarly calls for upgrades to specific air handling units (AHUs 18, 20, and 22) at the same Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center in Spokane, WA. The overlap in HVAC/mechanical upgrade scope suggests the work may be a continuation or expansion of the facility’s AHU modernization program.
