About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is procuring construction services to replace aging environmental growth chambers, HVAC systems, and controls at the Insect Management and Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory located at Moore Air Base in Edinburg, Texas. The project involves replacing three Kysor/Rheem SEER environmental growth chambers and eight chilled water units that are over thirty years old and experiencing equipment obsolescence, along with installing new evaporators, condensers, control panels, piping, electrical connections, and digital control interfaces. Contractors must demonstrate technical capability, provide reasonable and realistic pricing, and show strong past performance, with evaluation criteria including a technical approach narrative covering project management, quality control, safety, and execution methodology. The work requires EPA-certified technicians and compliance with Texas state codes, with all mechanical, electrical, and control documents requiring Texas Professional Engineer certification. The proposal submission deadline has been extended twice and is currently set for September 11, 2025, at noon Central Time, with a mandatory site visit having occurred on August 14-15, 2025.
This solicitation is set aside exclusively for small business concerns under NAICS code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning Contractors) with a size standard of $19 million in annual receipts. The estimated project value ranges between $1 million and $5 million, representing a significant opportunity for qualified small businesses in the HVAC construction sector. The contractor must begin work within 10 calendar days of contract award and complete the entire project within 180 calendar days after receiving notice to proceed. The work will be performed at the restricted federal facility in Edinburg, Texas, with operations limited to weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The project requires precise environmental controls to maintain temperatures between 4-50°C and humidity levels of 40-90% for critical research operations, along with full-spectrum LED lighting replacements and integration with the base's existing Energy Management Control System.
