SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS:

Synopsis:

NOTICE: This is not a solicitation but rather a Sources Sought Synopsis to determine potential sources for information and planning purposes only. Any information submitted by respondents to this sources sought synopsis is voluntary and will not be returned. The Government will not reimburse any costs incurred or associated with the submission of information in response to this notice.

1. Purpose:

The purpose of this Sources Sought is to conduct market research to determine if responsible sources exist, to assist in determining if this effort can be competitive and/or a total Small Business Set-Aside. The proposed North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 238220 Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors with a corresponding size standard of $15,500,000. The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement. The Government is interested in all small businesses to include 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Hubzone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. The Government requests that interested parties respond to this notice if applicable and identify your small business status to the identified NAICS code. Additionally, please provide any anticipated teaming arrangements, along with a description of similar services offered to the Government and to commercial customers for the past three years. Any responses involving teaming agreements should delineate between the work that will be accomplished by the prime and the work accomplished by the teaming partners.

2. Program Details:

This Sources Sought Synopsis is published for market research purposes only, to identify potential sources capable of providing services for Hill Air Force Base (HAFB). There are twenty five F-35 Control Consoles (CCs) that are located in Buildings 225 (Appendix D) and 233 (Appendix E). The CCs have controlled air-conditioning and hydraulic plumbing that pass through them. The CC air-conditioning outlet is connected to a Portable Inline Chiller Unit (PICU) that is used to reduce the air conditioned temperature of 75-55°F even lower at the aircraft point of use. The hydraulic hoses used for testing are stored on a metal frame stand and wound and un-wound by hand when needed.

A requirement is needed to reconfigure the PICU to a permanently Mounted Inline Chillers (MIC) and build new MICs from scratch near each CC and are in the same area as the MIC, the hydraulic hoses need to be converted to Auto Wind Hose Reels (AWHR). Once this requirement is solidified a formal request for proposal (RFP) will be released, this will be on a future date not yet determined.

The Draft Performance Work Statement with the program details is under the attachment name PWS Inline Chiller and Auto Hydraulic Hose.
