J--Plumbing and Pipefitting Services BOA

The Contracting Officer (CO) is contemplating the solicitation of a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) for Plumbing and Pipefitting inspection and repair services that could be used to issue individual TOs for service to every VA Medical Center (VAMC) in New England. The purpose of this solicitation is to invite interested vendors to provide quotes that could lead to a single-award VISN-Wide BOA or a multiple-award VISN-Wide BOA, in order to allow eligible VAMCs to meet future plumbing and pipefitting work requirements. The duration of the BOA will be 5 years from date of award. The PWS details the basic requirements of the resulting BOA. There is no guarantee of work orders to be placed off the BOA.

No work outside of that detailed in this work description performed will be paid by the VA without the express, prior written authorization of the Contracting Officer. No other government employee has authority to change the resulting contract's terms or conditions or to commit funding. No funding is guaranteed by the award of a BOA. The CO may appoint a Contracting Officer Representative (COR) to coordinate and supervise the work on behalf of the VAMC.
