About this opportunity

Kirtland Air Force Base, operating under the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Nuclear Weapons Center, is seeking to procure Direct Digital Controllers (DDC) and related software through a brand name only requirement. The procurement will support replacement, upgrade, and new installation of HVAC equipment as part of the Energy Management Control System (EMCS) modernization initiative. The Class Brand-Name Only Justification will apply to all KAFB DDC systems, including both plant controllers and single zone controllers. This pre-solicitation notice was posted on April 20, 2026, with a response deadline of April 24, 2026. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in this pre-solicitation notice, the brand name only justification approach indicates that technical specifications and compatibility with existing EMCS infrastructure will be primary considerations.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting eligibility to firms meeting small business criteria under the applicable NAICS code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors). The contract will span multiple fiscal years from FY26 through FY31, providing a multi-year procurement framework for HVAC control system components and software. No incumbent contractor, specific award value, or detailed quantity information is provided in this pre-solicitation notice. The condensed four-day response window suggests this is an early notification phase, with a formal solicitation expected to follow once the brand name justification process is completed. Interested small businesses should prepare documentation demonstrating their capability to provide DDC systems and related software compatible with military HVAC and energy management standards.
