The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (Northampton VA Medical Center) issued solicitation 36C24126Q0396 on behalf of the White River Junction VA Medical Center for one 150-ton air-cooled rental chiller. The solicitation is set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and uses NAICS code 238220 with a small business size standard of $16.5 million. The FSC/PSC code is J041. Delivery must be made to 215 N Main Street, White River Junction, VT 05001-0001 no later than 15 days after receipt of order, with FOB destination terms.

The amendment clarifies that contractors must include mechanical lines to connect the chiller to building taps and be capable of self-connection. For electrical work, contractors should provide wiring up to the panel and coordinate with the VA's electricians for final tie-in, with one option being the contractor providing a connector that the VA's electricians wire into the disconnect switch with the chiller plugging into the connector. Four photographs of the installation location are attached to this amendment to provide visual reference for prospective contractors.
