The contract covers refurbishment of eight specific AHUs (6A, 7A, 8A, 9A, 14, 33, 39, and 43) with a contract period of one Performance Order Period (POP) from July 1, 2026 to October 1, 2026, though contractors may propose extended schedules for consideration. The principal NAICS code is 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), and the product/service code is J041 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, and Air Circulating Equipment). The closing date for quotations is June 29, 2026 at 11:00 AM Central Time.

The Statement of Work requires contractors to conduct comprehensive site surveys, assess current conditions of mechanical, electrical, and control components, identify deficiencies, and develop refurbishment plans to restore AHUs to optimal working condition and improve energy efficiency. Key clarifications from Questions and Answers amendments confirm that chilled water and steam piping connections behind the AHUs are difficult but not inaccessible; that Daikin (which acquired McQuay in 2006) still manufactures OEM replacement coils for McQuay units; that contractors may use cranes for safe unit removal; that temporary HVAC rental units may be provided as alternatives to unit downtime; and that schedule adjustments beyond 90 days are permissible upon government approval. The federal agency is the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 (VISN 9).
