The unit must support BACnet IP and MS/TP communication capabilities, operate on 460V, 3-phase, 60 Hz power, function in ambient conditions from -20°F to 125°F, and support R-32 or R-410A refrigerant. Additional specifications include bare micro-channel condenser coils, evaporator heater, hot gas bypass, suction line insulation, suction service valve, single point power connection, coil trim panels, low-sound compressor blankets, and ComfortLink controls with scrolling marquee display module.

The Government reserves the right to award to a higher-priced offeror if technical superiority or more advantageous delivery justifies the additional cost. A clarification memorandum issued July 30, 2026, reiterates that quotations failing to demonstrate compliance with stated requirements will be deemed technically unacceptable. Quotations must include completed SF-1449 forms and be submitted electronically to r3phillips@bop.gov; faxed and hand-delivered quotes will not be accepted.
