The solicitation closes on September 29, 2026, at 12:00 PM Mountain Daylight Time. The 27 Special Operations Civil Engineer Squadron at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico, is the requesting activity. Delivery must occur within 90 calendar days of contract award, with delivery hours restricted to 0700-1600 Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. The government will provide all equipment and personnel necessary for unloading and offloading the chiller, as well as responsibility for moving and setting the equipment at its final location in CE Storage on Cannon AFB (506 N Air Commando Way, Cannon AFB, NM 88103-5100).
Delivery coordination requires drivers to enter through the south (Portales) gate with valid driver's license, proof of insurance, and vehicle registration. Drivers must have no active warrants to avoid denial of access or detention. The FAR Clause 52.219-33 (Nonmanufacturer Rule) does not apply to this acquisition. This solicitation is restricted to brand-name items only with no substitutes or "or equal" items permitted. The government notes that funds are not presently available, and it reserves the right to cancel the solicitation before or after the closing date without obligation to reimburse offerors for any costs incurred.
