Chiller Replacement, MBS ATCT, 8570 Freeland Rd Freeland MI 48623

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to contract for chiller replacement services at the MBS International Airport Traffic Control Tower located at 8570 Freeland Road in Freeland, Michigan. This notice was published by the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region on September 22, 2025. The FAA plans to procure these services through an existing Agency-wide Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) rather than through a traditional competitive solicitation process. The estimated value of this procurement ranges between $100,000 and $500,000. The announcement indicates that the FAA will award an order to a contractor already established under their BOA framework.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to replace the existing chiller system at the MBS Airport Traffic Control Tower, which is critical infrastructure for maintaining proper environmental conditions in air traffic control operations. Interested parties have a very short response window, as the due date is September 25, 2025, just three days after publication. The procurement is structured as a total small business set-aside, meaning only small business concerns are eligible to compete for this opportunity, and it is not available for full and open competition. All inquiries must be submitted in writing to the Contracting Officer with the announcement number included in the subject line, as telephone inquiries will not be accepted. The notice emphasizes that Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) references in SAM.gov do not apply to the FAA, which operates under its own Acquisition Management System (AMS) policies and guidance.
