About this file

This is Amendment 0001 to Solicitation 1305M326Q0394, a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Office of Administration and Resources (WAD-OAR), located at 325 Broadway, Boulder, Colorado 80305. The amendment, effective August 3, 2026, adds six questions and answers (Q&A) to clarify requirements for HVAC maintenance and repair services at two locations: WFO Charleston (Charleston County) and NEXRAD Early Branch (Hampton County), South Carolina.

The solicitation requires scheduled preventive maintenance (PM) and unscheduled emergency repair services for HVAC systems. Key requirements include annual inspection and replacement of backup batteries for HVAC controllers and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), annual replacement of 3M HF60-S water filter cartridges and Nortec model 202 steam cylinders, firm-fixed hourly labor rates for emergency repairs, and compliance with two separate Service Contract Act Wage Determinations (Charleston WD 2015-4427 and Hampton WD 2015-4441, applied geographically to their respective work locations). The amendment clarifies that subcontractor past performance and technical experience may satisfy evaluation criteria when a signed teaming agreement is submitted; parts and materials for emergency repairs shall be priced separately with reasonable markups and submitted for TPOC approval; scheduled consumables are factored into PM CLIN 0001 pricing; and no incumbent contractor exists. The Government declined to extend the quote deadline beyond August 14, 2026, and indicated it does not possess specific manufacturer model numbers and quantities for backup batteries, as this is considered a nominal cost item. The amendment maintains all other terms and conditions of the original solicitation.

AMENDMENT 0001 (08/11/2026):

Add Q&A

1. Subcontractor Past Performance and Technical

Experience Evaluation o Context: RFQ Section XII, provisions FAR

52.212-1 and 52.212-2, state that quotes must include at least two references from at least two separate contracts for similar and relevant recent services performed within the past two years to demonstrate capability. Under a prime-subcontractor teaming arrangement, a small business prime contractor manages administration, invoicing, and overall compliance, while a specialized local subcontractor performs physical, on-site technical services.

o Question: Will the Government evaluate the past performance, technical experience, and

HVAC certifications of proposed key subcontractors to satisfy the evaluation criteria under Technical

Acceptability/Capability and Past Performance, provided the subcontractor is clearly identified and a signed teaming agreement or commitment letter is submitted with the quote?

o Answer: Yes, subcontractor’s past performance is sufficient.

2. Pricing of Materials, Parts, and Specialty

Equipment under Unscheduled Emergency Repair

CLINs o Context: Section II, CLINs 0003 and 0004 (and

Option Year equivalents) request a firm-fixed hourly rate for unscheduled emergency repairs.

SOW Section 2.3.1 states that emergency repairs will include labor, parts, and components required to troubleshoot, diagnose, or repair faulty equipment, and that estimates must be submitted to the TPOC for review. SOW Section

7.0 further states that the contractor shall furnish all materials.

o Question: Please clarify how replacement parts, materials, and specialty equipment required for unscheduled emergency repairs

(C) should be priced and invoiced under CLINs 0003 and 0004. Are offerors permitted to bill these parts at cost, or with a fixed material markup percentage? Alternatively, should offerors include a standard plug-in material allowance, or is the hourly rate intended to be fully burdened to cover labor only, with parts handled via separate post-award bilateral modifications?

o Answer: Unscheduled emergency repairs will require estimates to be submitted to the TPOC for review and approval, using the labor rate provided in the RFP, and the pricing for the parts/components that need to be replaced. We presume the parts portion of the estimates will include a reasonable markup.

3. Specific Manufacturer Models, Types, and

Quantities of Backup Batteries o Context: SOW Section 2.1.7 requires the contractor to inspect and replace backup batteries for HVAC controllers and Variable

Frequency Drives (VFDs) annually. SOW Section

4.6 lists on-site equipment, including Trane

UC600 Tracer Controls and Trane PM014 Power

Supply Modules, but does not provide specifications or models for the on-site VFDs.

o Question: To ensure accurate pricing of materials and avoid system disruptions, could the Government provide the specific manufacturer model numbers, battery types

(e.g., lithium coin cells, sealed lead-acid modules), and total quantities of batteries requiring annual replacement for the VFDs and controllers at both the WFO and NEXRAD locations?

o Answer: We do not have that information. This is likely a nominal cost.

4. Applicability of Service Contract Act (SCA)

Wage Determinations o Context: Section X lists two separate Wage

Determinations as contract attachments:

Charleston WD 2015-4427 and Hampton WD

2015-4441. The places of performance consist of

WFO Charleston (Charleston County) and NEXRAD

Early Branch (Hampton County).

o Question: Please confirm the geographic applicability of each Wage Determination. Is it the Government’s intent that WD 2015-4427 applies strictly to work performed at the

Charleston WFO, and WD 2015-4441 applies strictly to work performed at the NEXRAD site in Early Branch?

o Answer: Wage Determination is correct to the best of our knowledge.

5. Scope Clarification on Scheduled Consumables

vs. Emergency Repair Parts o Context: SOW Section 2.1.5 and 2.1.6 mandate the annual replacement of the 3M HF60-S water filter cartridge and the Nortec humidifier steam cylinder (Nortec model 202). SOW Section

7.0 requires the contractor to furnish all materials.

o Question: Please confirm that the cost of procuring and installing the Nortec 202 steam cylinders and 3M HF60-S water filter cartridges must be fully absorbed within the scheduled PM

CLINs (CLIN 0001, etc.), rather than billed separately under CLIN 0003. Additionally, are there any other specialty HVAC consumables

(excluding standard belts and MERV air filters) that must be replaced on a routine, scheduled basis?

o Answer: Factored into the CLIN 0001 price.

There are no other specialty HVAC consumables.

6. Site Visit Coordination and Quote Deadline

Extension Request o Context: Solicitation 1305M326Q0394 was issued on August 3, 2026, with questions due by

August 10, 2026, and quotes due on August 14, 2026. SOW Section 2.0 strongly encourages a pre-proposal site visit and emphasizes that field verification takes precedence over SOW discrepancies. WFO Charleston and remote NEXRAD

Early Branch are geographically separated by approximately 80 miles, and site access requires physical LPOC escorts.

(C) o Question: To allow offerors sufficient time to coordinate and conduct site visits across both geographically separated secure facilities, perform necessary field verifications, and compile highly accurate, non-reiterative technical packages with local technical teams, will the Government consider extending the quote submission deadline by one week, to August 21, 2026?

o Incumbent Contractor: Could you please confirm whether there is a current incumbent for this contract? If so, we would appreciate it if you could share the associated Purchase

Order number and the total contract value.

o Answer: No incumbent new requirement and we will not be extending solicitation date.
