The Department of Veterans Affairs put out a bid for Mission Critical Roofs Phase II at its Montrose, New York facility, with bids due October 16.
The project is listed under solicitation number 36C24226B0051, filed under NAICS code 236220, which covers general building construction such as roofing work. The posting does not give a dollar estimate for the job.
Before you even think about pricing this one, check the box that matters most: this is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside, under FAR 19.14. Only a firm certified as an SDVOSB -- owned and controlled by a veteran with a service-connected disability -- can bid or win this contract. Certification now runs through the SBA's Veteran Small Business Certification program, not the VA, and it is not a same-week process, so this is not something to chase cold the week bids are due.
If you already hold SDVOSB status, pull the full solicitation package under 36C24226B0051, confirm your firm fits the size standard for NAICS 236220, and get your bid in before the October 16 deadline. The backstory: the VA Hudson Valley Healthcare System says this roof job is one of four Montrose and Castle Point projects it got Non-recurring Maintenance funding for in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026. The others are repaving Parking Lot G at Montrose, replacing fan coils in Building 18 at Castle Point, and fixing the Montrose water tower -- so keep an eye on the same system for those bids.
Bottom line: this is a closed door unless you're SDVOSB-certified. If you are, get your paperwork and your price in before October 16. If you're not, don't spend estimating hours on it -- watch for the other jobs from the same funding round instead.
