The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), VISN 15 Network Contracting Office, is seeking sources that can provide the following: The Marion VA Healthcare Center requires a qualified firm to provide annual inspection, testing, and repair services for all backflow prevention devices on the Marion campus. All work must comply with VHA Directive 1061, NFPA 25, The Joint Commission standards, Illinois Plumbing Code (77 Ill. Adm. Code 890), Illinois EPA Public Water Supplies Regulations (35 Ill. Adm. Code 604.1505 / 653.801–805), and City of Marion IL Local Plumbing Codes. All inspections, testing, repairs, and replacements shall be performed only by technicians holding a current Illinois EPA Cross-Connection Control Device Inspector (CCCDI) certification or equivalent ASSE 5110/5130 certification. This contract covers annual inspection, testing, reporting, and repair/replacement services for all backflow prevention devices located at the Marion VAMC campus, as identified in Appendix A: Device List. Appendix A identifies the devices on record as of May 28, 2026, for reference only. The contractor shall field-verify all device counts, locations, and identify information during the initial inspection cycle and report any discrepancies to the COR in writing. The field-verified count established during the initial inspection cycle shall serve as the controlling inventory for all subsequent invoicing and performance periods. Each device shall be tested in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and an accepted cross-connection control testing standard (e.g., USC-FCCCHR manual), using test equipment calibrated in accordance with Section 10.3. Test results shall record actual PSI/differential pressure readings against the manufacturer-specified pass threshold for that device — a simple pass/fail notation without supporting readings is not acceptable. All test gauges/equipment used under this contract shall be calibrated at least annually (or per manufacturer requirement) by an accredited calibration source. Calibration certificates shall be made available to the COR upon request. For each backflow device, the contractor shall confirm and record: Tag/ID number and precise location (sufficient for any party to quickly locate the device without ambiguity) Make, model, serial number, and size Appendix A: Device List: Device Location Serial Number Size Manufacturer Bldg 1 Rm 30 F060810417 6" Hebco Bldg 1 Rm 30 102813 1" Watts Bldg 1 Rm 30 653770 3/4" Watts Bldg 1 West Penthouse 461757 3/4" Watts Bldg 1 Rm 501 654186 3/4" Watts Bldg 1 Rm 417 630246 3/4" Watts Bldg 1 Rm 401 168464 3/4" Watts Bldg 1 Rm 401 225450 3/4" Watts Bldg 2 Sub Basement MF - 0348 6" Ames Bldg 2 Sub Basement 044284 3 /4" Watts Bldg 2 Rm 223 253758 2" Watts Bldg 2 East Penthouse 349428 3/4" Watts Bldg 2 Central Penthouse 084792 3/4" Watts Bldg 7 Rm 124 64397B 2" Apollo Bldg 7 Rm 124 31817 6" Zurri Wilkins Bldg 8 Mech Rm 375XLRP 2" Zurri Wilkins Bldg 8 Mech Rm G53781 4" Back Flow, Direct Bldg 13 Basement KK-1005 4" Watts Bldg 14 Boiler Rm 207262 2" Watts Bldg 14 Basement 463681 2" Watts Bldg 16 Rm 105b 164200 4" Watts Bldg 37 Rm UPS 628759 3/4" Watts Bldg 37 Rm 111 RJ 1986 4" Ames Bldg 37 Hallway A 10515 1/2" Watts Bldg 37 Hallway 626317 3/4" Watts Bldg 42 Basement 117655 3/4" Watts Bldg 42 Basement 919609 1/2" Apollo Bldg 42 Rm C115 127324 3/4" Watts Bldg 42 Lab B33 134220 3/4" Watts Bldg 42 Basement 251293 6" Watts Bldg 42 Basement 251294 6" Watts Bldg 43 Rm 163 160440 4" Watts Bldg 43 Rm 163 055227 3/4" Watts Bldg 43 Rm 163 490372 3/4" Watts Bldg 49 Chiller Plant 118516 3/4" Watts Bldg 49 Chiller Plant 2 EM 1249 2 1/2" Ames Bldg 49 Chemical 104257 3/4" Watts Bldg 81 Rm B-05 LA-0398 4" Ames Bldg 81 Rm B-05 213326 3/4" Ames Bldg 81 Rm B-01 319213 3 /4 " Watts Bldg 82 AmVet 641785 3/4 " Watts Bldg 82 AmVet 254869 2" Watts Bldg 82 AmVet 1003680810 4" Ames Bldg 82 AmVet 11346 3/4" Ames Bldg 83 Rm 301 527523 2" Apollo Bldg 83 Mech Rm 174368 6" Ames Bldg 83 Rm 143A Q08425 3" Wilkins Bldg 84 Mech Rm 11216D 4" Zurn Wilkins Bldg 84 Mech Rm ZF-4358 3" Watts Bldg 84 Mech Rm ZG-0272 3" Watts Bldg 84 Mech Rm 357405 1" Watts Mod-1 Rm 125 EJ 0059 6" Ames Copeland Dr 12981 8" Febco Rock 9509081508 8" Febco 5.
