About this file
The document is a Salient Characteristics file for AFGSC B5546 Boilers, detailing technical specifications for two modulating, condensing, natural gas-fired boilers. The boilers must have a 20.1 Turndown Ratio, 439 stainless steel fire tube heat exchanger, 94.6% efficiency rating, and computer-operated air/fuel ratio adjustment. Key specifications include an input range of 2,000,000 BTU/HR, net output of 1,860,000 BTU/HR, dual return loops, and low NOx emissions compliance with EPA standards.
The document outlines comprehensive requirements for manufacturer services, including system inspection, commissioning, and operator training. Warranty terms are extensive, featuring a 10-year heat exchanger warranty covering condensate corrosion and manufacturing defects, a 5-year burner warranty, and a 2-year computer control system warranty. The boilers are part of a small business set-aside solicitation (NAICS 333414) by the Air Force Global Strike Command, with quotes requested by May 1, 2025, at 1:30 PM CDT. No funds are currently available, and no award will be made until funding is secured.

SALIENT CHARATERISTICS FOR AFGSC B5546 BOILERS
PART 1 – DESIGN
1.1 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
1.1.1 The boilers specified must be a modulating type condensing type natural gas-fired boiler.
1.1.2 The boilers and accessories shall be supplied by the boiler manufacturer.
1.1.3 The boiler must incorporate a 20.1 Turndown Ratio.
1.1.4 The boilers must have capability to computer operated air/fuel ratio adjustment, have a 439 stainless steel fire tube heat exchanger, operate at a minimum 94.6% efficiency rate in accordance with the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Energy Star rating.
1.2 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
On-board Set-up & Combustion Calibration
Input Range BTU/HR 2,000,000
Net Output Range BTU/HR 1,860,000

PART 2 – BOILER PARAMETERS
2.1 BOILER CHARACTERISTICS/PERFORMANCE
2.1.1 O2 TRIM CAPABILITY: Boiler shall incorporate a high-efficiency combustion control system to maintain air/fuel ratios to ensure proper operation and provide maximum efficiency to adjust to fluctuating gas pressures and environmental conditions. The boiler must display oxygen levels directly via an on-board display in real-time to allow for measurement of emissions and fuel economy of the boiler without traditional combustion calibration devices. The system shall self-adjust in the event of any site condition changes (air density, gas pressure, BTU content, etc.) to ensure efficiency, stability, and reliability. Boiler must have a gas pressure operating range of
14” Water Column maximum and 4” Water Column at full load. Water pressure drop cross the heat exchanger must be a maximum of 3.0 PSIG@170 GPM.

Attachment 1
2.1.2 DUAL RETURN: Boiler must incorporate dual return loops to adjust to varying load demands to maximize operational efficiency by keeping cold water separate creating a larger condensing zone that allows for an additional 6% efficiency gain.
2.1.3 BOILER CONTROL: Boiler controls must maintain constant set point, outdoor reset schedule and be compliant with Johnson Control Energy Management and Control System architecture. The boiler controls must also have capability to be sequenced and automatically adjust to prevent fluctuations in the header temperature. Boiler must incorporate on-board diagnostic capability in the event of excessive trimming or when the O2 Sensor has fallen out of calibration.
2.1.4 EMISSIONS: Boiler must be fitted with a Low NOx burner whose emissions will meet minimum Environmental
Protection Agency and Air Force Manual 32-7002 Environmental Compliance and Pollution Prevention standards.
PART 3 – START-UP/TESTING/TRAINING, DELIVERABLES, AND WARRANTY

3.1.1.1 Inspect and commission the system following installation, supervise the start-up and testing of the system, and certify the system is operating at design specifications.
3.1.1.2 Instruct operating personnel in the proper operation and maintenance of the system for a period of not less than one half day.
3.2 TOOLS AND SPARE PARTS DELIVERABLES
3.2.1 The manufacturer shall furnish the following on or prior to day of commissioning:
3.2.1.1 A recommended list of spare parts.
3.2.1.2 An Operations and Maintenance manual.
3.3 WARRANTY
3.3.1 The manufacturer shall furnish the following:
3.3.2 10-year Heat Exchanger covering Condensate Corrosion, Manufacturing Defects.
