VETERANS AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF.VETERANS AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF.246-NETWORK CONTRACTING OFFICE 6 (36C246) · Response deadline: Tue, 10 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Department of Veterans Affairs is soliciting work to correct stormwater drainage at a VA facility. The formal title describes this as "Correct Stormwater Drainage," indicating the scope involves repair, improvement, or remediation of existing drainage infrastructure rather than new construction. Stormwater drainage work for federal facilities typically encompasses culvert repair, channel stabilization, inlet reconstruction, pipe replacement, erosion control, and associated grading to ensure proper water management and compliance with environmental regulations.
This work falls under NAICS code 237110, Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction. Contractors in this category build, repair, and maintain water mains, sewers, storm drains, pipelines, and related infrastructure. VA medical centers and cemeteries operate under strict regulatory requirements for stormwater management, including compliance with NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permits and potential interaction with historic preservation guidelines when facilities contain protected structures.

Who can bid
Only certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses may bid on this set-aside. To qualify, a firm must meet SBA size standards for NAICS 237110—see the solicitation for the specific size threshold, which typically uses employee-based or revenue-based criteria depending on contract parameters. The SDVOSB must be at least 51% unconditionally owned and controlled by one or more service-disabled veterans, with the highest officer managing daily operations and the veteran(s) holding the highest officer position.
Eligible bidders must be registered in SAM.gov, have an active NAICS 237110 in their profile, and maintain valid SDVOSB certification through either the SBA's Certification Center or, for legacy participants, the VA's CVE program. Verification status must be current at time of award. Joint ventures are permitted under FAR 19.14 if the joint venture is itself SDVOSB-certified and meets Mentor-Protégé requirements where applicable.
How to put together a competitive bid
Stormwater drainage proposals for federal work require demonstrated technical competence in civil infrastructure. Your bid should emphasize: prior performance on similar VA, military, or other federal drainage remediation projects; familiarity with Virginia's stormwater management regulations; and capability to perform work within active medical center or campus environments with minimal disruption to patient care and operations.
Cost proposals for NAICS 237110 work should account for utility locates, dewatering requirements, sediment and erosion control, potential unknown subsurface conditions, and coordination with VA facility engineers. Given the "Correct Stormwater Drainage" description, assume existing system investigation and diagnosis may precede or accompany construction work. Pricing strategies should incorporate appropriate contingency for underground conditions.
For SDVOSB set-asides, highlight your service-disabled veteran owner's direct involvement in project execution. Provide resumes showing their construction management experience, safety credentials (OSHA 30, competent person status), and any relevant state contractor licenses. bonding capacity should match the anticipated contract value—see the solicitation for requirements.
