How to bid on VA site lighting improvements in White City, Oregon
What the VA plans to buy
The Department of Veterans Affairs plans to replace existing lighting with more energy-efficient lighting at its Southern Oregon Rehabilitation Center and Clinics in White City, Oregon. The work covers various locations across the campus.
The VA anticipates one firm-fixed-price construction contract for the full scope. This is a presolicitation notice, not a request for bids or pricing, and the VA has not committed to releasing an RFP or awarding a contract.
Key date and what happens next
The notice lists a deadline of November 3, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Because this notice is not a solicitation, it is not the deadline for submitting a bid.
The VA anticipates releasing an RFP in the coming months of fiscal year 2027. If released, it will be posted on SAM.gov under identifier 36C26027R0027.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is intended for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. The anticipated construction work may suit firms with relevant experience replacing lighting and installing energy-efficient systems.
The requirement will be subject to the Buy American Act and the VA Limitations on Subcontracting. Review the eventual RFP for the specific terms and requirements.

Prepare for the possible RFP
Use this notice to prepare, not to submit pricing. Gather relevant project experience and consider how your firm would handle campus-wide lighting replacement work.
