# USACE Seeks Canandaigua VA Project Input

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Buffalo District will hold a virtual Industry Day on October 27, 2026, to gather market feedback for the anticipated VA Canandaigua Phase III design-build project at the Canandaigua VA Medical Center in New York. The project includes making Building 1 safe and structurally secure and renovating Building 3 for a permanent outpatient pharmacy. This is market research, not a solicitation; the event is an opportunity for prime contractors, subcontractors, design firms, and specialty trades to inform project planning and express teaming interest.

- The District seeks industry input on capacity and teaming, bonding, labor and material availability, construction sequencing, infection control, schedule risks, and potential effects of a project labor agreement.
- **Industry Day is scheduled for October 27, 2026.** Interested firms can contact USACE Buffalo District’s contracting point of contact with questions about the event and anticipated project.
- Contractors can use the discussion to share relevant constraints and capabilities, and assess potential teaming needs; participation does not constitute a bid or proposal submission.
