Air Handling Unit

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, part of the Department of the Treasury, is seeking to procure one air handling unit (AHU) to replace an existing Trane unit (model TWE120B300BB) located in the Roof Garden of Building B-500-1M at their Washington, DC Currency Facility. The replacement AHU must meet specific technical requirements including a fan capable of 4500 cubic feet per minute, a 10-ton hydronic cooling coil, a 100 MBH steam heating coil, and both MERV 8 and MERV 13 filters, along with precise dimensional and orientation constraints. The solicitation will result in a firm-fixed-price contract using simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Parts 12 and 13 for commercial items. The government will evaluate proposals using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process, where technical acceptability is determined by the contractor's demonstrated understanding of the Statement of Work requirements. Quotes are due by 2:00 PM EST on June 26, 2025, with no separate deadline specified for vendor questions.

This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 333415 (Air-Conditioning and Warm Air Heating Equipment Manufacturing) with a size standard of 500 employees, as amended from the original NAICS code 423730. The solicitation calls for the delivery of exactly one air handling unit with an anticipated delivery timeline of 90 days after contract award. The contractor must provide a comprehensive one-year warranty covering all parts, labor, and travel costs, while the Bureau of Engraving and Printing will handle the installation of the unit themselves. Performance will take place in Washington, DC 20228, specifically at the government's currency production facility. Technical specifications indicate the unit must handle specific water and air temperature parameters, including entering water temperature of 44°F, leaving water temperature of 57°F, and water flow rate of approximately 20 gallons per minute at maximum load.
