Condensing Unit to include installation - Griffin, GA

The USDA Agricultural Research Service is seeking to procure one condensing unit with installation services for a walk-in freezer at the Plant Genetic Resources Conservation Unit located on the University of Georgia Griffin Campus. The project involves replacing an existing condensing unit and requires the contractor to provide all professional services, equipment, materials, and labor necessary for removal and installation of a fully functional new unit, including piping, refrigerant, insulation, wiring, and connections to existing fan coil units. Contractors must maintain minimal downtime to protect the germplasm collection, provide 24/7-365 emergency repair service after completion, ensure compatibility with existing equipment, and comply with applicable codes and standards including ANSI, ASME, NEC, OSHA, and ADA requirements. The government will use Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation criteria, weighing technical capability and past performance more heavily than price. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for August 12, 2025, technical questions are due by August 14, 2025, and quote submissions must be received by August 19, 2025 at 4:00 PM CDT.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 333415 for Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the solicitation documents. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed, the government anticipates awarding a firm fixed price contract with quotes required to remain valid for at least 60 days. The contractor must provide a one-year guarantee on all work performed and submit a Site Safety Specific Plan within 14 days of contract award. All work must be performed Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM at the USDA facility in Griffin, Georgia, with government inspection and approval required throughout the project.
