PURCHASE, REPLACE AND HUMIDIFIER LOCATED AT THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE (NWS) WEATHER FORECAST OFFICE (WFO) SANTA TERESA, NM 88008

BRAND REQUIREMENT: THE NORTEC CORPORATE NAME HAS BEEN CHANGED FROM NORTEC HUMIDITY INC. TO CONDAIR INC. 

PROCUREMENT AND INSTALLATION OF A CONDAIR H-1, MODEL: EL-20/440-480/3.  THE HUMIDIFIER IS A 20/LBS. PER HOUR UNIT.  THE VOLTAGE FOR THE UNIT IS 480, THREE PHASE, 60 HERTZ. 

BRAND SUPPORT: “The required service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems or equipment, and the source is uniquely qualified to meet the requirement.  There is limited space in the Air Handling Units upstairs area.  By using the Condair Humidifier, it will be installed exactly where the obsolete unit is located.  Other Brands are not the correct size to fit in the area that we need the humidifier to be located.   This would take up valuable space that is needed for the maintenance of the Air Handler Units.”

This requirement is posted as a product requirement under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) due to the product is the greater cost over the nonpersonal services to install it.
