Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
The prior contract 36C24626C0034 awarded to Phillips C&C (valued at $427,329, with performance from 04/20/26 to 10/31/26) for “NRM PROJECT 658-26-105 REPAIR UNDERGROUND FUEL STORAGE TANKS” appears closely related to the current opportunity “Z2DA--658-26-105 Repair Fuel Storage Tanks” at the Salem VA Medical Center. The shared project number and focus on repairing fuel storage tanks suggest this effort may be a continuation or expansion of the same tank repair scope (e.g., addressing related underground/overall fuel tank work) under a subsequent award notice.
