Vendor Questions and Answers Rheinland Pfalz, Appliances

RFQ W912DY-26-Q-A053

1. Refrigerator 18-19 cu.ft. — Overall Dimensions

Priority: CRITICAL | FID Item: AP39 | FID Ref: §8.2

The FID specifies dimensions of 29-30"W × 30-35"D × 65-67"H (74-76cm × 76-89cm × 165-170cm) for an 18-19 cu.ft. bottom-freezer refrigerator with EU 230V/50Hz Schuko plug.

After researching all major EU refrigerator manufacturers (Liebherr, Bosch/Siemens, Samsung, LG, Beko, Gorenje, Haier, Hisense, Miele, AEG), we have found that no 230V/50Hz bottom-freezer refrigerator exists in the EU market that meets both the height restriction (165-170cm) and the capacity requirement (510-538L / 18-19 cu.ft.) simultaneously.

EU bottom-freezer refrigerators are available in two standard widths:

• 60cm width class: Maximum capacity ~330L (11.6 cu.ft.) at 185cm height

• 75cm width class: Capacity 490-510L (17-18 cu.ft.) but at 186-203cm height

The 65-67" (165-170cm) height restriction eliminates all EU models in the 75cm class, while the 18-19 cu.ft. capacity eliminates all EU models in the 60cm class.

Can the Government please advise whether:

(a) The height specification can be relaxed to 185-192cm to accommodate standard EU products, OR

(b) The capacity specification can be reduced to approximately 330L (11.6 cu.ft.) to fit within the 60cm width / 185cm height EU standard, OR

(c) The width specification can be adjusted to accept 60cm-wide products with proportionally lower capacity?

Impact: Without clarification, zero (0) compliant products exist worldwide in the required EU 230V/50Hz electrical specification. This question must be resolved for any vendor to provide a technically acceptable quote for AP39.

Proposed Product: Best available 60cm option: Liebherr CNd 5203 (330L, 59.7×67.5×185.5cm, white, NoFrost, Energy D, made in Bulgaria). Best available 75cm option: Samsung RB50DG601EW1EF (508L, 75.9×71.1×192cm, white, Energy E).

HNC RESPONSE: A bottom freezer is not a requirement in the FID. See revised FID dated 3-4-26

2. Refrigerator 18-19 cu.ft. — EU Energy Rating A Requirement

Priority: CRITICAL | FID Item: AP39 | FID Ref: §8.2.k

The FID specifies EU Energy rated A. Under the current EU Energy Label regulation (EU 2019/2016), which rescaled energy ratings in March 2021, EU Energy Class A is effectively unattainable for bottom-freezer fridge-freezers in the 60cm and 75cm width classes.

The highest-rated 60cm bottom-freezer models available are Energy Class C-D (e.g., Liebherr CNd 5203 at Class D). In the 75cm class, the best available white models are Energy Class E.

For reference, under the pre-2021 EU labeling, these products were rated A+ to A+++. The 2021 rescaling intentionally left Class A empty to encourage future innovation.

Can the energy rating requirement be relaxed to Energy Class D or better for the 60cm class, or Energy Class E or better for the 75cm class, consistent with the best-in-class products currently available?

Impact: EU Energy A combined with the 18-19 cu.ft. capacity and white color requirement eliminates all available products. No manufacturer currently offers an EU Energy A fridge-freezer in this size class.

Proposed Product: Liebherr CNd 5203 at Energy D is among the most efficient in its class.

HNC RESPONSE: See revised FID dated 3-4-26

3. Electric Range — Oven Capacity 4 cu.ft. (113L) Minimum

Priority: CRITICAL | FID Item: AP46 | FID Ref: §8.5.d.i

The FID requires a minimum oven capacity of 4 cu.ft. (113 liters). Standard EU freestanding electric cookers in the 50-60cm width range have oven capacities of 60-71 liters. An oven capacity of 113 liters is only found in:

• US-market 30" (76cm) freestanding ranges (not available in 230V/50Hz), or

• EU built-in wall ovens (not freestanding cookers as specified)

The best EU freestanding cooker we have identified is the Bosch HKS79R220 (Series 6) with a 63-liter oven. This model meets or exceeds all other FID requirements including pyrolytic self-cleaning, digital LCD display with electronic timer, white color, Energy A, VDE-compliant 3-phase terminal block, and storage drawer.

Can the oven capacity requirement be reduced to 60-71 liters to align with the maximum capacity available in EU freestanding electric cookers?

Impact: The 113-liter (4 cu.ft.) requirement eliminates every EU freestanding electric cooker. This appears to be a US-market specification that does not translate to the EU product category.

Proposed Product: Bosch HKS79R220 — 63L oven, pyrolytic self-cleaning, 8 heating modes, 30 AutoPilot programs, LCD display, 4 ceramic HighSpeed zones, quadruple-glazed SoftClose door, Energy A, white, Germany.

HNC RESPONSE: See revised FID dated 3-4-26

4. Electric Range — Width Tolerance

Priority: HIGH | FID Item: AP46 | FID Ref: §8.5.a

The FID specifies a width range of 20-23" (51-58cm). The standard width for EU freestanding electric cookers is 60cm (23.6"), which exceeds the maximum by 1.5cm (0.6").

The only EU cookers narrower than 60cm are 50cm models, which have significantly reduced oven capacity (55-62L), fewer features, and no self-cleaning option — making them unable to meet other FID requirements.

Can the width tolerance be extended to 60cm (23.6") to accept the EU-standard freestanding cooker width?

Impact: Virtually all EU freestanding cookers are 60cm wide. The 50cm models that would meet the width spec cannot meet the self-cleaning, digital display, or oven capacity requirements.

Proposed Product: Bosch HKS79R220 at 60cm width meets all other requirements.

HNC RESPONSE: See revised FID dated 3-4-26

5. Electric Range — Cooktop Type (Coil Burners vs. Glass Ceramic)

Priority: HIGH | FID Item: AP46 | FID Ref: §8.5.e

The FID specifies "minimum of 4 coil burners" for the range top. Coil-element (exposed resistive coil) cooktops are not manufactured for the EU 230V/50Hz market. This technology has been discontinued in Europe for over 15 years.

EU freestanding cookers use one of three cooktop technologies:

• Glass-ceramic (radiant/halogen) — most common, direct functional equivalent of coil

• Solid cast-iron hotplates (Massekochplatten) — older technology, still available on budget models

• Induction — premium technology, requires compatible cookware

Glass-ceramic cooktops provide the same cooking function as coil burners (resistive electric heating) but with a smooth glass surface, faster heat-up, and easier cleaning.

Are glass-ceramic (radiant) cooktop zones acceptable as a functional equivalent to coil burners?

Impact: Coil burner cooktops in 230V/50Hz EU specification do not exist. Any EU freestanding cooker quote will necessarily include glass-ceramic or solid plate cooktops.

Proposed Product: Bosch HKS79R220 has 4 HighSpeed glass-ceramic zones including 2 dual-circuit/extendable zones.

HNC RESPONSE: See revised FID dated 3-4-26

6. Electric Range — Electrical Connection Method

Priority: HIGH | FID Item: AP46 | FID Ref: §8.5.h/i

The FID specifies a "5 wire cord without plug" suitable for 3-phase 400V connection per German VDE code (3H+N+G), NTE 16A.

EU freestanding cookers are supplied without any cord attached. Instead, they include a multi-option terminal block that supports multiple wiring configurations:

• 1N~ : Single-phase 230V

• 2N~ : Two-phase 400V

• 3N~ : Three-phase 400V (the configuration specified in the FID)

At installation, a qualified electrician reconfigures the terminal block by removing factory bridge links and connects the 5-wire building supply (L1, L2, L3, N, PE) directly. This is standard practice for all German residential and military housing cooker installations per VDE 0100.

Is the standard EU terminal block approach acceptable, where the cooker ships without a pre-attached cord and the electrician connects the building's 5-wire supply directly to the terminal block configured for 3N~ 400V?

Impact: This is standard EU/German installation practice. No EU cooker ships with a pre-attached 5-wire cord;

all use the reconfigurable terminal block approach.

Proposed Product: Bosch HKS79R220 terminal block supports 1N~/2N~/3N~ configurations per VDE standards.

HNC RESPONSE: Yes, that’s correct. The electrician will connect to the building.

7. Refrigerator 18-19 cu.ft. — Interior Configuration

Priority: MEDIUM | FID Item: AP39 | FID Ref: §8.2.d/f

The FID requires 2 full-width adjustable shelves + 2 crispers in the fridge section, and 2 drawers + 1 full-width shelf/drawer in the freezer section, along with in-door storage.

Depending on the Government's response to Questions 1-2 above:

• If the 60cm/330L option is accepted: The Liebherr CNd 5203 has 4 glass shelves, 1 EasyFresh crisper (humidity-controlled), 3 freezer drawers, door storage, and reversible door. It has only 1 crisper instead of 2.

• If the 75cm/508L option is accepted: The Samsung RB50DG601EW1EF has the required shelves, crispers, and freezer configuration.

If the 60cm-class product is accepted, can the crisper requirement be relaxed from 2 crispers to 1 humidity-controlled crisper, given that 60cm-width EU fridges universally have only 1 crisper drawer?

Impact: The crisper count is a function of the fridge width. 60cm models have 1 crisper; 75cm models have 2.

This is driven by physical space constraints.

Proposed Product: Liebherr CNd 5203 (60cm): 4 shelves, 1 EasyFresh crisper, 3 freezer drawers, door storage.

HNC RESPONSE: See revised FID dated 3-4-26

8. Microwave Convection Oven — Dimensions

Priority: MEDIUM | FID Item: AP44 | FID Ref: §8.4.a

The FID does not specify external dimensions for the AP44 Microwave Convection Oven (unlike other items). The proposed Smeg SAM34CXI measures approximately 560W × 520D × 370mm (22" × 20.5" × 14.6"), which is larger than a standard countertop microwave due to the integrated convection oven.

Can the Government confirm there are no maximum dimension constraints for the AP44, or if the units must fit within a specific cabinet or shelf space in the buildings?

Impact: Convection microwaves are inherently larger than standard microwaves due to the convection heating elements and additional insulation. If space is constrained, we need to know the maximum allowable dimensions.

Proposed Product: Smeg SAM34CXI — 34L, 1000W inverter, convection + grill, stainless steel, Italy.

HNC RESPONSE: Dimensions are not critical and therefore were not provided.

9. For Bldg. 8240, please advise if the appliances need to be delivered inside each room or need to be delivered to base warehouse?

HNC RESPONSE: Refer to Att 1 RFQ installation requirements. Requirements vary per building.
