This is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for maintenance and repair services of a 26-ton Trane air-cooled chiller located at the Northwest Fisheries Science Center's Burley Creek Hatchery in Port Orchard, Washington.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) seeks firm fixed-price quotations for annual preventive maintenance and emergency repair services. The base period runs from September 24, 2026 through December 31, 2026, with four optional one-year extension periods available (2027-2030). The contractor must provide one preventive maintenance visit during the base year and two visits annually during option years, with services anticipated in September and March. Emergency repair calls require a 72-hour response time and an estimated duration of two business days per visit, with the government estimating at least one repair visit per calendar year. All work must be performed by factory-certified Trane technicians or Trane-qualified technicians with chiller experience. Services include system recharging with proper refrigerant, component inspection and diagnostics, cleaning, testing to ensure normal operations, and repair of non-operational parts and refrigerant leaks. The place of performance is at the hatchery facility during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday), and contractor employees must coordinate with government personnel to access the gated facility.

Quotations will be evaluated using Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedures based on three factors: technical experience and qualifications to successfully perform requirements, past performance on related contracts (minimum one reference required), and firm fixed-price costs. The contract is unrestricted and open to all sources. Quoters must have active System for Award Management (SAM) registration to be eligible for award. Invoices must be submitted quarterly in arrears via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) system or, for foreign vendors exempt from IPP requirements, to MB.Invoices@noaa.gov with completed SF3881 forms. Payment terms are Net 30. The solicitation includes mandatory sexual assault and harassment prevention training requirements and compliance with various federal regulations and contract clauses. Quotations are due by September 10, 2026 at 1700 EDT, and the requisition number is 143041-26-0165.

STATEMENT OF WORK

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

NOAA FISHERIES

Environmental and Fisheries Sciences Division Burley Creek Hatchery Chiller Services

Background/Overview:

The Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC), part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is a federal government agency charged with the mission of stewardship for living marine resources. The NWFSC has provided safety net rearing of Snake River Sockeye Salmon listed as Endangered under the United States Endangered Species Act since 1991. The Burley Creek Hatchery and Manchester Research Station have been the freshwater and saltwater rearing stations for these ESA-listed salmon since 2001. These captively-reared fish are critical to the recovery of this salmon population in the wild. Burley Creek captively rears endangered sockeye salmon (fish) eggs, alevin, and fry that are required to be reared at lower temperatures (down to 7 degrees Celsius). Currently, water provided by underground wells provides temperatures down to only 10 degrees Celsius. Currently, a 26-ton Trane chiller (Model number CGAM026A2A) along with a water tower, chills groundwater to 7 degrees Celsius on a constant basis September-March of each year. A constant temperature of 7 degrees Celsius allows the salmon eggs to develop more slowly and be kept viable until transportation to their natal hatcheries in Idaho.

Scope of Work:

The objective of this service contract is to provide 1) annual preventative maintenance and 2) periodic emergency service of the 26-ton Trane chiller (model #CGAM026A2A) located at the NWFSC’s Burley Creek Hatchery by a factory certified Trane technician or Trane qualified technician must understand Trane brand systems such as the model mentioned. Emergency service calls will be scheduled on an as-needed basis and require a response time of 72 hours. All chiller service requires testing until sufficient chilling is verified by the servicing technician and NOAA staff.

Tasks:

Tasks shall be performed on a chiller at the Burley Creek Hatchery facility (Trane, Air-Cooled chiller 26-ton, Model CGAMO26A2, Serial #U23K02675) qualified technician with Trane chiller experience.

• Task 1: Annual preventive maintenance one (1) time per calendar year in the base year, and two (2) times per calendar year in each of the following option years. The Government anticipates preventative service will be performed in September and March of each year;

however, the visit may be rescheduled upon agreement between the Government and contractor.

• Recharge chiller system with proper refrigerant

• Test each system after each service visit to ensure normal operations.

• The certified Trane technician shall perform all necessary associated services to ensure that all components and systems are operable including inspection, diagnostics, cleaning of components and parts, and any other services necessary for each service visit.

• Task 2: Unscheduled emergency repairs as requested by the Government. The contractor shall respond on-site no more than 72 hours after notification of the government request or other timeframe as agreed upon by the Government and contractor. No request or repair visit will be outside of normal business hours. The expected duration of each repair visit will be two (2) business days on-site. The Government estimates at least one (1) repair visit per calendar year.

Repairs may also include the installation of rebuilt, replacement, or upgraded components and/or the entire systems as requested by the Government following diagnostic evaluation by the contractor.

• Repair any existing parts on system that are not operational.

• Repair any existing refrigerant leaks, charge and recharge chiller system with proper refrigerant.

• Test each system after each service visit to ensure normal operations.

• The contractor or certified Trane HVAC technician shall perform all necessary associated services to ensure that all components and systems are operable including inspection, diagnostics, cleaning of components and parts, and any other services necessary for each service visit.

NOAA Acquisition Manual 1330-52.222-70 NOAA SEXUAL ASSAULT AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT

PREVENTION AND RESPONSE POLICY (MAY 2018)

In accordance with NOAA Administrative Order (NAO) 202-1106, NOAA Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Prevention and Response Policy, it is the policy of NOAA to maintain a work environment free from sexual assault and sexual harassment. NOAA prohibits sexual assault and sexual harassment by or of any employee, supervisor, manager, contractor, vendor, affiliate, or other individual with whom NOAA employees come into contact by the virtue of their work for NOAA.

(a) Definitions.

Contractor Employees - The term “contractor employees,” as used in this solicitation and contract language, refers to employees of the prime contractor or its subcontractors, affiliates, consultants, or team members.

Sexual Assault - The term sexual assault, as used in this solicitation and contract language, means any conduct proscribed by state or federal sexual abuse laws, including, but not limited to, those defined in chapter 109A of title 18 of the U.S. Code (sexual abuse), and assaults committed both by offenders who are strangers to the victim and by offenders who are known or related by blood or marriage to the victim.

Sexual Harassment - As defined by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, non-verbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature when any of the following are true:

● Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly as a term or condition of an individual's employment;

● Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual;

● The conduct unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

The main characteristics of sexual harassment are that the harasser's conduct is targeted against the recipient’s sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation, and is unwelcome to the recipient. It may include, but is not limited to: offensive jokes, slurs, epithets or name calling, undue attention, physical assaults or threats, unwelcome touching or contact, intimidation, ridicule or mockery, insults or put-downs, constant or unwelcome questions about an individual's identity, and offensive objects or pictures.

(b) Requirements.

1. It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that contractor employees maintain the highest degree of conduct and standards in performance of the contract. In support of this, NOAA urges its contractors to develop and enforce comprehensive company policy addressing sexual assault and sexual harassment.

2. The contractor shall include wording substantially the same as this solicitation and contract language in every subcontract so that it is binding upon each subcontractor.

3. If a contractor employee observes or is the object of sexual assault or sexual harassment, he or she is highly encouraged to report the matter, as soon as possible, to their immediate supervisor, the COR, subset of the COR (e.g. Task Manager or Assistant COR), or contracting officer (CO) if a COR is not assigned to the contract. The contract employee may also contact the NOAA Civil Rights Office to obtain guidance on reporting instances of sexual assault or sexual harassment. If deemed necessary, the contractor employee may also report such instances to local law enforcement. In the case where the incident occurs while performing at a remote location, such as at sea or in the field (at a field camp or other isolated location) where the above referenced individuals are unavailable, the contractor employee should follow the reporting procedure set forth in NAO 202-1106, Section 6.07, Reporting from Remote Locations.

4. Swift reporting allows NOAA and the contractor to take the appropriate measures to ensure that offensive behavior stops and the complainants’ needs are addressed.

5. The COR (if assigned), CO, and contractor, where applicable, will work together to ensure appropriate action is taken in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, contract terms and conditions, and the contractor’s written policy (where applicable).

6. The contractor shall provide all contractor employees assigned to perform under this contract with mandatory sexual assault and sexual harassment prevention and response training in compliance with the requirements of NAO 202-1106, Section 5, Prevention Training and Awareness, as part of their initial in-processing and on an annual basis thereafter. The initial training shall be completed within [ ] business days (30 unless a different number is inserted) of contract award or the date a contractor employee is assigned to perform under the contract, as applicable.

Evidence of initial training by name and date completed for each contractor employee, shall be submitted to the COR or contracting officer (if no COR assigned) within 10 business days of completion.

Evidence of annual training by name and date completed for each contractor employee shall be submitted to the COR or contracting officer (if no COR assigned) no later than March 1st of each calendar year of contract performance.

7. The mandatory sexual assault and sexual harassment training provided by the contractor shall include the required elements set forth by NOAA’s Workplace Violence Program Manager. A link to the website including the required elements of the training is provided at https://www.noaa.gov/organization/acquisition-grants/noaa-workplace-harassment-training-for-contractors-and-financial. The website will also provide training materials and resources to assist the contractor in conducting the training. The contractor may provide training that solely addresses the NOAA required elements or may supplement existing company sexual assault and sexual harassment training in a manner that ensures all of the elements are adequately addressed.

8. The required elements of the training and resources available to the contractor for the training may be updated by NOAA periodically. The contractor is responsible for monitoring the website and incorporating any changes to the NOAA required elements into the contractor provided training.

9. NOAA’s Workplace Violence Program Manager, COR, or CO may periodically review the contractor’s training outline to ensure all required elements are included and, if necessary, any appropriate adjustments are made to the training by the contractor.

10. Contractor employees performing on assignments in a remote location, such as at a field camp or other isolated locations, are subject to receiving the same briefing on the parameters of the order provided to NOAA employees as set forth in Section 6 of NAO 202-1106.

11. The contractor shall provide a copy of this solicitation and contract language and NAO 202-1106 to contractor employees.

For NOAA employees, affiliates, and contractors who have experienced sexual assault or sexual harassment, NOAA has established the NOAA Sexual Assault/Sexual Harassment (SASH) helpline. This helpline is designed to provide crisis intervention, referrals, and emotional support to those who are victims and/or survivors of sexual harassment or sexual assault within the workplace. Contractor employees may use the helpline to receive live, confidential, one-on-one support in an occurrence of sexual harassment or assault by a Federal Government employee.

All services are anonymous, secure, and available worldwide, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The NOAA SASH helpline is accessible through a variety of channels, including:

● Phone: 1-866-288-6558

● Website & Online Chat: https://www.noaasashhelpline.org/

● Mobile App: NOAA SASH Helpline (available via iOS and Android App Stores)

● Text: (202) 335-0265

(d) Confidentiality.

Any party receiving information from the filing of a complaint alleging sexual assault or sexual harassment, or while performing an investigation into such a complaint, shall keep the information confidential. “Confidentiality” means that the information shall only be shared with others who have a need to know the information to conduct their official duties.

(e) Remedies.

In addition to other remedies available to the Government, contractor employee violations of Federal requirements (e.g., law, statutes, executive orders, code, rules, regulations) applicable to sexual assault and sexual harassment and/or failure to complete the mandatory training set forth in this solicitation and contract language, may result in:

1. Requiring the contractor to remove a contractor employee or employees from the performance of the contract;

2. Requiring the contractor to terminate a subcontract;

3. Suspension of contract payments until the Contractor has taken appropriate remedial action;

4. Termination of the contract for default or cause, in accordance with the termination clause of this contract;

5. Suspension or debarment; or

6. Other appropriate action.

NOAA Acquisition Manual 1330-52.237-71 NOAA GOVERNMENT-CONTRACTOR RELATIONS - NON-

PERSONAL SERVICES CONTRACT (SEPT 2017)

(a) The Government and the contractor understand and agree that the services to be delivered under this contract by the contractor to the Government are non-personal services as defined in FAR Part 37, Service Contracting, and the parties recognize and agree that no employer-employee relationship exists or will exist under the contract between the Government and the contractor’s personnel. It is, therefore, in the best interest of the Government to afford both parties an understanding of their respective obligations.

(b) Contractor personnel under this contract shall not:

1. Be placed in a position where they are under relatively continuous supervision and control of a Government employee.

2. Be placed in a position of command, supervision, administration, or control over Government personnel or over personnel of other contractors performing under other NOAA contracts.

(c) The services to be performed under this contract do not require the contractor or the contractor’s personnel to exercise personal judgment and discretion on behalf of the Government. Rather, the contractor’s personnel will act and exercise personal judgment and discretion on behalf of the contractor.

(d) Rules, regulations, directives, and requirements that are issued by the Department of Commerce and NOAA under its responsibility for good order, administration, and security are applicable to all personnel who enter the Government installation and facilities, who are provided access to Government systems, or who travel on Government transportation. This is not to be construed or interpreted to establish any degree of Government control that is inconsistent with a non-personal services contract.

(e) Both parties are responsible for monitoring contract activities for indications of improper employee-employer relationships during performance. In the event a situation or occurrence takes place inconsistent with this contract language, the following applies:

1. The contractor shall notify the contracting officer in writing within 5 business days from the date of any situation or occurrence where the contractor considers specific contract activity to be inconsistent with the intent of this contract language. The notice must include the date, nature and circumstance of the situation or occurrence, the name, function and activity of each Government employee or contractor employee involved or knowledgeable about the situation or occurrence, provide any documents or the substance of any oral communications related to the activity, and an estimated date by which the Government is recommended to respond to the notice in order to minimize cost, delay, or disruption of performance.

2. The contracting officer will review the information provided by the contractor, obtain additional information (if needed), and respond in writing as soon as practicable after receipt of the notification from the contractor. The contracting officer’s response will provide a decision on whether the contracting officer determines the situation or occurrence to be inconsistent with the intent of this contract language and, if deemed necessary, will specify any corrective action(s) to be taken in order to resolve the issue.

NOAA Acquisition Manual 1330-52.237-72 CONTRACTOR ACCESS TO NOAA FACILITIES (SEPT 2017)

(a)

1. The performance of this contract requires employees of the prime contractor or its subcontractors, affiliates, consultants, or team members (“contractor employees”) to have access to and to the extent authorized, mobility within, a NOAA facility.

2. NOAA may close and or otherwise deny contractor employees access to a NOAA facility for a portion of a business day or longer for various reasons including, but not limited, to the following events:

i. Federal public holidays for Federal employees in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 6103;

ii. Fires, floods, earthquakes, and unusually severe weather, including but not limited to snow storms, tornadoes, and hurricanes;

iii. Occupational safety or health hazards;

iv. Lapse in Appropriations; or

v. Federal Statute, Executive Order, Presidential Proclamation, or any other unforeseen reason.

3. In such events, the contractor employees may be denied access to a NOAA facility that is ordinarily available for the contractor to perform work or make delivery, as required by the contract.

(b) In all instances where contractors are denied access or required to vacate a NOAA facility, in part or in whole, the contractor shall be responsible to ensure contractor personnel working under the contract comply. If the circumstances permit, the contracting officer will provide direction to the contractor, either directly or through the COR, which could include continuing on-site performance during the NOAA facility closure period; however, if Government oversight is required and is not available, on-site performance shall not be allowed. In the absence of such direction, the contractor shall exercise sound judgment to minimize unnecessary contract costs and performance impacts, for example, performing required work off- site if possible or reassigning personnel to other activities if appropriate.

(c) The contractor shall be responsible for monitoring the Office of Personnel Management at opm.gov, the local radio, television stations, NOAA web sites, and other communication channels. Once the facility is accessible, the contractor shall resume contract performance as required by the contract.

(d) For the period that NOAA facilities were not accessible to contractors who required access in order to perform the services, the contracting officer may—

1. Adjust the contract performance or delivery schedule for a period equivalent to the period the NOAA facility was not accessible;

2. Forego the work; or

3. Reschedule the work by mutual agreement of the parties.

(e) Notification procedures of a NOAA facility closure, including contractor denial of access, are as follows:

1. The contractor shall be responsible for notification of its employees of the NOAA facility closure to include denial of access to the NOAA facility. The dismissal of NOAA employees in accordance with statute and regulations providing for such dismissals shall not, in itself, equate to a NOAA facility closure in which contractors are denied access. Moreover, the leave status of NOAA employees shall not be conveyed or imputed to contractor personnel. Accordingly, unless a NOAA facility is closed and the contractor is denied access to the facility, the contractor shall continue performance in accordance with the contract.

2. Access to Government facilities and resources, including equipment and systems, will be limited and personnel necessary to administer contract performance may not be available. Generally, supply and service contracts that are funded beyond the date of the lapse in appropriation and do not require access to Government facilities, active administration by Government personnel or the use of Government resources in a manner that would cause the Government to incur additional obligations during the lapse in appropriation may continue. If a delivery date for a contract falls during the period of a lapse in appropriations, Government personnel may not be available to receive delivery. Contractors are directed to consult with a contracting officer before attempting to make a delivery. Contracting officers will be available throughout the lapse in appropriation period to provide guidance.

Once OMB guidance is given, CORs, in consultation with the contracting officer, will notify those contractors that are deemed by the Program Office to be performing excepted work and identify the contractor personnel requiring access to…
