How to bid on VISN 2 Bronx ESPC Project Facilitator Services for the VA
What the VA is buying and why it matters
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is looking for a project facilitator to support an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) at the Bronx VA Medical Center. This role involves reviewing Measurement and Verification (M&V) reports and tracking the overall project progress, including meeting minutes.
This is a five-year, firm-fixed-price contract. The selected facilitator must be approved by the Department of Energy (DOE). While this specific opportunity is a direct award, understanding the VA's needs for project facilitation in energy savings contracts can inform future bidding strategies for similar services.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a pre-solicitation notice, not a request for quote or proposal. The anticipated period of performance for this requirement is from September 25, 2025, to September 24, 2030. An earlier start date is possible if mutually agreed upon before September 19, 2025.
The deadline for this pre-solicitation notice is September 17, 2026, at 4:30 PM ET. However, a solicitation and request for quote will not be posted publicly, as this is a direct award. A Request for Proposal will be issued directly to EMP2 Inc.
Who this opportunity suits
This specific opportunity is a direct award to EMP2 Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB). The procurement is being conducted under NAICS code 541690, Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services.
Firms that provide project facilitation services, particularly those with expertise in energy savings performance contracts and Department of Energy approval, may find similar future opportunities with the VA relevant to their capabilities.
