VA awards $3.73 million to repair the Building 100 moisture barrier in Anchorage

A $3.73 million federal contract will repair the moisture barrier on Building 100 at the Anchorage VA Medical Center, work meant to keep water out of the wall cavities. The Department of Veterans Affairs awarded the contract to Red Point Construction, LLC of Palmer on Aug. 4, according to the award posting on USAspending.gov.

The job drew one bid. The award record lists it as a HUBZone set-aside, reserved for small firms based in areas the federal government designates as historically underutilized, and records a single offer received. Red Point is listed federally as a HUBZone firm, an Alaska Native corporation-owned small business and an 8(a) program participant.

The work is filed as construction project 463-21-101 under the department's non-recurring maintenance program, the category the VA uses for one-time capital repairs rather than routine building upkeep. The solicitation described the scope as preventing moisture intrusion into wall cavities at the North Muldoon Road campus.

The performance period runs September 15, 2026 through September 14, 2027, so the year of work is still about a month from starting. The $3.73 million is the contract's full value, not a ceiling to be drawn against.

A VA Office of Inspector General inspection of the Alaska VA Healthcare System, released August 5, found no issues warranting corrective-action recommendations across the five domains it reviewed, while noting minor maintenance observations and revisiting earlier humidity-related corrective work.
