Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract based on 36C24725C0098, awarded to Boyer Commercial Construction (value $11,740,000; 09/04/25–06/30/27). The prior work involved site preparation (including demolition) and installation of new VA-standard utility infrastructure across the Columbia VAMC campus, with interior work in buildings 100 and 100A, specifically to replace existing piping systems and address ongoing service interruptions and infrastructure deficiencies. The current requirement similarly calls for replacing the domestic water and fire piping loop with a new system designed to meet current VA standards and rectify existing piping issues across the same campus areas, suggesting continuity in location and type of utility replacement work.
