EPF Class Overhaul and Inspection of Chill Water Units

The Military Sealift Command is conducting a market survey for the comprehensive inspection and overhaul of five Carrier Model 30HXS-146R-6-KA Chill Water Units for T-EPF Class vessels. The procurement requires contractor support for detailed maintenance work including initial condition inspections, complete disassembly and cleaning of unit components, Eddy Current testing of condenser tubes, replacement of o-rings, gaskets, filters and valves, and refrigerant leak testing. Qualified contractors must provide a Carrier AC Service Representative and must be capable of delivering comprehensive electronic PDF reports with photographic documentation of unit conditions and work performed. The units must be preserved according to OEM specifications, cleaned, painted, and re-crated for international shipping with specific stenciling and moisture protection requirements. This pre-solicitation notice was posted on September 15, 2025, with responses due by September 22, 2025, and currently represents a request for information only rather than a formal solicitation.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open for full and open competition. The contract scope involves exactly five chill water units that require specialized maintenance services, with contractors expected to provide separate line-item pricing for specific tasks such as replacing condenser tubes, rebuilding compressors and motors, and installing system drier ball valve service ports. The work falls under NAICS code 811310 for Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance, indicating the specialized nature of the marine equipment servicing required. The document does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific budget ranges, as this remains in the market research phase. The tight timeline from posting to response deadline suggests the agency is moving quickly to identify qualified sources for this specialized marine equipment maintenance requirement.
