6.302-2 -- Unusual and Compelling Urgency.

Chillers and Towers at are freezing up and shutting down mission critical operations causing mission essential equipment to function incorrectly which in turn is causing mission failure. The constant part replacement and associated costs are growing and repairs are needed immediately. These chillers are manufactured by Carrier, and the repair work required on the chillers includes engineering specifics to Carrier's Evergreen model. This engineering is to be performed by the direct factory engineering and repair group for Carrier. A letter from Carrier is attached as to the nature of repairs needed for the system and their proprietary engineering and parts to conduct this emergency work. This repair is mission critical and must be completed immediately.

We cannot prepare a SOW that describes engineered modifications specific to Carrier's Central Engineering.

They have the drawings and procedures that, we are told, are for internal use only.

YES

On-line research for companies authorized by Carrier for Engineered Modifications.

Other companies are authorized by Carrier for installation and repair, but not for internal engineering.

Notice will be published in accordance with FAR Subpart 6.303-2 Unusual and compelling urgency (mission failure); 6.303-1 Requirements; 6.303-2 Content; 6.304 Approval of the justification; and 6.305 Availability of the justification. Any and all future work that does not require internal proprietary matters will be competed to the fullest extent practicable.
