Fan system 6 refurbishment

The U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants is seeking a small business contractor to recondition the Fan System 6 air handling unit at the National Wildlife Health Center in Madison, Wisconsin. The project involves removing and replacing components of a 1979 Trane air handling unit, including heating/cooling coils, humidification distribution tubes, fan section, and motor, while maintaining the original unit's air delivery, cooling, and heating capacities. Contractors must demonstrate technical capabilities for reconditioning the air handling unit and integrating it with the existing Johnson Controls Metasys Building Management System. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical merit, past performance, key personnel experience, and price, with technical factors being significantly more important than cost. The solicitation (140G0225R0009) requires submissions by 12:00 PM MST on July 18, 2025, with a mandatory 10-day contract startup period.

The contract is set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 238220 for HVAC contractors, with an estimated value between $250,000 and $500,000. The performance period is scheduled from August 1, 2025, to November 28, 2025, with a total project completion timeline of 120 business days. The project will specifically address the lower level of the Main Building, with work planned to minimize heating and cooling disruptions. Contractors must use NEBB certified balancing technicians and adhere to industry standards including ASHRAE and SMACNA. The work will involve careful handling of potential hazardous materials and requires coordinated site access. The place of performance is the U.S. Geological Survey National Wildlife Health Center located in Madison, Wisconsin, with the goal of maintaining the facility's critical air handling infrastructure.
