Al Deid - Refrigeration and Ice Machine Maintenance

The 379th Expeditionary Contracting Squadron at Al Deid Air Base, Qatar is conducting a sources-sought market research effort for refrigeration and ice machine maintenance services, with responses due by 1400 local time on May 16, 2026. This is an information-gathering exercise only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment to award.

Services encompass comprehensive maintenance and repair of approximately 50 refrigeration units across multiple base locations, including Carrier Transicold, Thermo King, and Guangdong Fuwa brands, some operational and some requiring repair. Monthly preventive maintenance occurs Saturday through Thursday, 0700–1800 hours, with cleaning of motors, compressors, condensers, defrosting, fans, vents, coils, and drains; flushing refrigerant lines; and adding refrigerant coolant as necessary. The contractor must maintain routine parts on hand for minor repairs, diagnose on-site, provide one-year warranty against defects, and respond to emergency repair calls within 24 hours with repair estimates within six hours of inspection. All repairs require written Contracting Officer approval before proceeding. The contractor furnishes all equipment and materials, cannot use solvents during maintenance, and must comply with Qatari, environmental, and safety laws.

All contractor personnel require identification badges and must satisfy base security requirements, including background investigations and escort compliance. Place of performance is Al Deid Air Base, Qatar. NAICS 811310; PSC J041. Responses should address capability, experience, clarifications needed on the draft Performance Work Statement, intent and timeline to quote, and any additional questions.
