The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is procuring 8 water refrigerating chillers (NSN: 4130-01-547-5222, Part Number EAS80200-101) specifically for use with the LGM-30 Minuteman III ICBM Environmental Control System. This solicitation (SPRHA2-25-R-0888) is restricted to two qualified sources: Engineered Air Systems Inc. and HDT Expeditionary Systems, Inc., with rigorous manufacturing qualification requirements including first article testing, manufacturing compliance verification, and counterfeit prevention planning. The procurement carries a Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) priority rating of A2, indicating national defense urgency, and includes comprehensive requirements for military-standard packaging, marking, and preservation specifications. The evaluation will prioritize price as the most significant factor, with all other evaluation factors being significantly less important than cost. Proposals are due by September 5, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with a 120-day price hold period required.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to the two pre-qualified sources mentioned above. The contract will be awarded on a fixed-price basis with early and partial deliveries authorized, though no specific contract value is disclosed in the documentation. The manufacturing qualification process is extensive and costly, with estimated qualification costs of $1,016,480 and a projected 500-day completion timeline for new sources seeking qualification. The place of performance is within the United States, and successful contractors must comply with international shipping requirements, including wood packaging material standards under ISPM No. 15 for potential international shipments. The procurement includes detailed technical specifications with over 50 individual engineering drawing numbers for component parts, reflecting the complexity and precision required for this critical military environmental control system component.
