Additionally, the Offeror must be cognizant of and comply with ECU performance requirements as detailed in the "General Requirements and Test Specification For A/E 32C-45A Environment Control Unit" found on sheet 4 of the 1559AS400 drawing (and in the WORD DOC entitled "General Requirement and Test Specification for ECU (July2010)" found in the Data Package). Any Source Control Drawing part substitution shall not have adverse impact on ECU performance which is to be demonstrated as part of Preproduction and Individual Acceptance Testing. The Offeror must also identify the manufacturer and applicable part number for the additional source.

AMENDMENT 1

NOTE:  This solicitation for the Environmental Control Units is on hold for an indeterminate period of time while the data package is being reviewed.  Updates for this solicitation will be posted on FBO.gov.

VIEWING:  The viewing of the ECU has been cancelled.

The Environmental Control Units (ECUs) are to be installed in Mobile Facilities (MFs). The MF is a mobile habitable shelter that is eight (8) feet wide by twenty (20) feet long by eight (8) feet high. The ECU is a heat pump that provides heating or cooling to maintain the MF at a suitable temperature for the inhabitants and the equipment installed in the shelter. Operationally, MFs are setup in a complex austere expeditionary environment.

NOTE: A Drawing Package will be provided separately on a CD-ROM.

VIEWING: An opportunity to view the ECU will be provided on 20 June 2017 between 13:00 and 15:00. The ECU will not be opened or dismantled. The ECU will not be operated. As this is a competitive solicitation no questions about the ECU or the solicitation will be entertained or answered. The location for the viewing will be at Joint Base MDL in Lakehurst, NJ.
