About this opportunity
The USDA Forest Service is seeking contractors for an HVAC replacement project at the Pringle Falls Experimental Forest in Deschutes National Forest. The project involves two distinct building upgrades: replacing an oil furnace with an electric furnace and heat pump in a 1,716 square foot historic Administration Building, and installing a mini-split system in a 420 square foot cabin. The Administration Building requires HVAC systems to operate from April to October and maintain minimal environmental conditions during winter months, while the cabin serves Forest Service personnel and visiting scientists. Interested parties are required to submit their information via email to Loren Mein (loren.mein@usda.gov) by June 13, 2025, at 3:00 PM Pacific Time. The agency will use these responses to determine the acquisition strategy and gauge market interest in the project.
The opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside, targeting NAICS category 238220 for Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors. The project is scheduled to commence on July 15, 2025, with work focused on two historic structures within the experimental forest. While specific budget details are not provided, the scope involves precise HVAC system replacements that require careful handling of historic building infrastructure. The project timeline indicates a relatively short window for completion, with the buildings being utilized seasonally by Forest Service personnel and scientific researchers. Contractors responding to this Request for Interest should be prepared to demonstrate expertise in historic building HVAC installations and the ability to work within the unique environmental constraints of an experimental forest setting.
