The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center has awarded a single-award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract worth up to $4,500,000 to Damuth Services Inc., doing business as Damuth Trane, for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) services. This contract, awarded in September 2022, runs through September 2027 and enables Damuth Trane to provide a wide range of HVAC system upgrades, replacements, and maintenance at NASA Langley's facilities in Virginia. The contract is not set aside for any specific business category. Under this IDIQ, NASA Langley has already issued multiple delivery orders totaling $2.8 million for HVAC work, including pneumatic controller and direct digital control replacements, system upgrades, and general maintenance and repair services. Damuth Trane's expertise as the original equipment manufacturer for many of the existing HVAC systems at the Langley Research Center gives it a competitive advantage in performing this mission-critical work to support NASA's aeronautics research.
The contract was originally solicited through a sole-source justification, as Damuth Trane was identified as the only responsible source capable of providing the required HVAC products, services, and warranties for the NASA Langley facilities. The Government evaluated any responses received to the pre-solicitation notice solely to determine if the procurement should be conducted competitively, but ultimately decided to award the IDIQ contract to Damuth Trane on a sole-source basis under the authority of FAR 6.302-1.
