About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is conducting market research to gauge small business interest in design-build construction services for the replacement of an existing 90-ton chiller and installation of a 500-gallon buffer tank at Building 840, Mountain Home Air Force Base (MHAFB) in Idaho. The project encompasses equipment removal and disposal, concrete pad preparation, vibration isolation installation, piping and valve installation, BACnet system integration, and manufacturer-certified startup procedures, all of which must comply with UFC standards, IBC, IMC, IPC, IECC, NEC, and NFPA codes. Prospective contractors must demonstrate experience with HVAC design-build projects, coordinate with base environmental and security protocols, and manage comprehensive environmental protection requirements including stormwater management, hazardous waste disposal, and refrigerant handling compliance.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set Aside with potential further subdivision into socioeconomic categories. The estimated project value ranges between $100,000 and $250,000, with a performance period of 90 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. The scope requires installation of a Daikin Model AGZ006F 90-ton chiller (or equivalent) with R-32 refrigerant, an American Wheatley 500-gallon carbon steel buffer tank (or equal), and associated 5-inch flanged piping with 2-inch urethane insulation and aluminum jacketing. Contractors must obtain all required permits from MHAFB and applicable federal, state, and local agencies, coordinate emergency tie-ins to allow portable chiller installation during the transition, and provide on-site system training and operation and maintenance manuals. The contract includes a one-year warranty period from final acceptance and requires adherence to construction hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with base access coordinated through Security Forces procedures.
