About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for federal contract opportunity FA252126QB098, addressing clarifications submitted by potential offerors regarding the procurement of three commercial-grade HVAC chiller units for the Department of the Air Force Space Command.
The Q&A document resolves three key issues raised during the solicitation process. First, it clarifies equipment-building assignments, confirming that the Salient Characteristics documents contain the correct pairings: Building 759 requires a CGAM026A2 (26-ton) unit, Building 1368 requires a CGAM020A2 (20-ton) unit, and Building 559 requires a CGAM052A2 (52-ton) unit, correcting discrepancies in the original posted description. Second, regarding the nonmanufacturer rule waiver for the Trane brand-name-mandated requirement under NAICS 333415, the government confirmed that no waiver is required due to the anticipated dollar value of the procurement. Third, the document clarifies that offloading responsibility rests with the government, to be performed by government HVAC civilian and military personnel with assistance from heavy equipment (crane) personnel. These clarifications provide essential guidance for offerors preparing quotes for the three-unit HVAC system replacement across the three specified buildings.

Q&A Notice ID: FA252126QB098 Received Question and Answers (as of 17 July 2026)
1. Building/model assignment discrepancy. The posted Description states the 20-ton unit (CGAM020A2) is dedicated to Building 759 and the 26-ton unit (CGAM026A2) is dedicated to Building 1368. However, the attached Salient Characteristics documents show the opposite: Salient Char. Doc Bldg 759 specifies the CGAM026A2 (26-ton) unit, and Salient Char. Doc Bldg 1368 specifies the CGAM020A2 (20-ton) unit, 20 nominal tons, 208V/3-phase. The 52-ton unit (CGAM052A2, Bldg 559) is consistent across both. Could you confirm which pairing governs, so we quote the correct equipment for each building?
Response- The Salient Characteristics documents contain the correct information. Verified by end user, the correct equipment assignments for each building are as follows:
· Building 759: CGAM026A2 (26-ton)
· Building 1368: CGAM020A2 (20-ton)
· Building 559: CGAM052A2 (52-ton)
2. Nonmanufacturer rule waiver. Trane is the brand-name-mandated manufacturer and a large business under NAICS 333415, with no SBA class waiver available for this NAICS code. Can you confirm whether an individual NMR waiver has been requested or granted for this procurement? We raised this on the original notice (FA252126QB098) on July 1 but did not receive a response before it was republished.
Response- Due to the anticipated dollar value, a waiver is not required.
3. Offload responsibility. Please confirm whether offload at each site is the government's or the vendor's responsibility under this solicitation.
Response- Offloading of the equipment is the Government's responsibility. The offload will be performed by Government HVAC civilian/military personnel with the assistance of Heavy (crane) civilian/military personnel.
