This document is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Jesup, GA. The document seeks to replace Air Handling Unit (AHU) #19 in the medical facility with a new Carrier air handler unit, model 39MN size 21W, equipped with stand-alone controls. The upgrade aims to enhance HVAC system performance, ensuring optimal air quality and addressing critical medical facility needs.

The procurement is being conducted under a limited competition exception due to urgent and compelling circumstances. The estimated project cost is $249,860.00, and the replacement is considered crucial to maintaining a healthy environment and reducing airborne disease risks for inmates and staff. Boaen Mechanical has been identified as the preferred contractor, with the justification highlighting their expertise in HVAC systems and ability to quickly implement the replacement. The agency determines that delaying the replacement could lead to significant operational risks, potential staff and patient injuries, and increased financial liability.
