Carrier Carrier or authorized company

FAR subpart 13.5 in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1901

The current HVAC system was designed, engineered and installed by Carrier Corporation during initial construction of the building. The system has since needed engineering design modifications, parts and installation that could only be accomplished by Carrier Corporation or an authorized Carrier contractor as part of their proprietary drawings and internal parts of the system. This system is now a one of a kind engineered system and as such is required to be maintained by Carrier Corporation or a Carrier authorized contractor; otherwise the warranty on all parts to the system will be jeopardized.

N/A if citing FAR subpart 13.5 in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1901.

YES

Carrier Corporation was contacted as to the nature of the system and who is authorized to maintain it. We have received a letter from Carrier Corporation stating that only Carrier Corporation or a Carrier authorized contractor can maintain this system.

This requirement will be competed, however, the service will continue to be restricted to Carrier Corporation or an authorized Carrier contractor as long as the current system is in operation.

This justification will be made available with the combined synopsis/solicitation IAW FAR 13.501(a)(1)(iv) and 5.102(a)(6). Price fair and reasonableness will be determined IAW FAR 13.106-3(a).
