56 HVAC Limited Competition Justification Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document for a sole source procurement by the National Guard Bureau. The contracting activity is 152 MSG/MSC, with the requiring activity being 152 CES. The procurement is for Building 56 HVAC Repair services at an estimated price that is redacted. The contract action is a new firm fixed price contract funded through O&M, Air appropriation.

The justification for sole source procurement is based on FAR 6.302-1, which allows for a single responsible source when only one source can satisfy agency requirements. ACCO Engineered Systems is identified as the only qualified contractor, having originally installed the HVAC system and performed all subsequent repairs under equipment warranty. The document states that ACCO Engineering has coordinated with the engineering firm that designed the system to identify troubled areas and provide solutions. The requirement involves troubleshooting, engineering, and frequent repair of the failing HVAC system. The justification asserts that procurement from any other source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the mission, duplication of substantial costs not expected to be recovered through competition, and severe degradation of operational capabilities. Market research indicated that HVAC services are commercially available, yet the document maintains that ACCO Engineering remains the only responsible source capable of satisfying this specific requirement. The document was prepared on September 23, 2025, and includes certifications from technical representatives, the contracting officer, and the requiring activity.
