How to bid on Leesburg RC – Vault & Latrine Modernization for VA Military Affairs

What the agency is buying

The Virginia Department of Military Affairs is seeking bids for construction services to modernize the vault and latrine areas at the Leesburg Readiness Center in Leesburg, Virginia. This project involves installing new partitions, updating finishes, and upgrading mechanical, electrical, and fire protection systems.

The facility will be unoccupied during the construction period, which is scheduled from September 1, 2026, through September 1, 2027. The construction contract is expected to be executed by September 30, 2026.

Key dates and deadlines

The deadline for submitting bids is September 2, 2026, at 10:00 AM ET. Bids must be submitted electronically through the eVA system. Bids received after this exact time will be considered late and will not be accepted.

A public bid opening will take place on September 3, 2026, at 10:00 AM ET at Building 561, Fort Pickett, Blackstone, VA 23824.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for construction firms with experience in facility renovations, particularly those involving interior build-outs, system upgrades (mechanical, electrical, fire protection), and finish work. The project falls under the construction category.

Vendors should be prepared to work on a project where the facility will be unoccupied, which can simplify logistics but requires careful planning for project duration and resource allocation.

How to respond

To access the full solicitation documents, you need to go to eVA, Virginia’s eProcurement portal. The posting is publicly viewable without an account.

To submit a bid, you must sign in with a free eVA vendor account before the September 2, 2026, 10:00 AM ET deadline. Bids submitted outside of the eVA system, such as via email, mail, or fax, will not be accepted.

Tips for preparing a competitive response

Carefully review all attached documents within the IFB on eVA for complete instructions and specifications. Pay close attention to the scope of work for partitions, finishes, and system upgrades.

Ensure your bid is submitted well before the deadline to avoid any technical issues with the eVA system. Double-check that all required forms and information are included and accurately completed. Since this is an Invitation for Bid (IFB), pricing will be a primary factor, so ensure your cost proposal is competitive and accurate.
