Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract, with District Veterans Contracting awarded closely related construction IDIQ/task order vehicles for the Clarksburg/Martinsburg area (36C24521D0087, $4,147,026; 09/23/21–09/22/26) and additional MATOC/task order contracting in MD/DC/WV (36C24523D0039-36C24526N0325, $4,164,428; 02/25/26–01/19/27). The prior awards are construction services in the same VA region and timeframes, which suggests the current Boiler #3 replacement work may be issued as a continuation of those VA construction task order efforts at the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center.
