The US Geological Survey (USGS) Office of Acquisitions and Grants is seeking to procure two specialized marine-grade heat pumps for the Marrowstone Marine Field Station in Nordland, Washington. Specifically, the agency requires one Aqua Logic HP-53 Split 5-ton Heat Pump and one Aqua Logic HP-53-WCV Water-Cooled Marine Duty 5-ton Heat Pump with specific technical requirements including 208V 3-phase power, titanium heat exchangers, and marine-grade condenser coatings. The procurement will be conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12 for commercial items, with quotes to be evaluated using a lowest-priced technically acceptable methodology. Vendors must submit their quotes by May 22, 2025, at 1700 PD, emailing proposals to Tracy Huot at thuot@usgs.gov. To be considered, vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), possess a Unique Entity Identification (UEI) number, and comply with NAICS code 333415.

The solicitation is exclusively set aside for small businesses within the Air-Conditioning and Warm Air Heating Equipment Manufacturing sector, with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The heat pumps are designed to operate in temperatures ranging from 0F to 115F, indicating a robust and specialized equipment requirement. While no specific award value is mentioned, the procurement is for two specific heat pump units to be installed at the marine field station. Vendors must submit firm, fixed-price quotes in U.S. dollars and demonstrate technical capability to meet the marine-specific equipment specifications. The place of performance is the Marrowstone Marine Field Station in Nordland, Washington, suggesting a localized and specific installation requirement for these specialized marine heat pump units.
