Serial Number B1002.jpeg

This document is a Pre-Solicitation for a specific EVAPCO Cooling Tower procurement for Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA)-Lackland, Texas. The Air Force Air Education and Training Command requires a 250-ton EVAPCO Cooling Tower, Model ATW 238-3J-2 CLOSED CIRCUIT COOLER, exclusively for Building 1002's HVAC system. The requirement is brand-specific due to the unique system design from the original 2002-2003 construction, with critical justification that alternative cooling towers cannot effectively integrate with the existing infrastructure without compromising building climate control and potentially risking personnel safety.

The solicitation invites manufacturers to submit capability statements demonstrating equivalent or superior cooling tower functionality, with the expectation that respondents will provide detailed evidence proving their solution's compatibility and potential cost advantages to the government. The primary objectives are to maintain the building's specialized closed-loop system, reduce total ownership costs, enable in-house maintenance, and potentially introduce competitive alternatives that meet the precise technical specifications of the original EVAPCO cooling tower design.
