HVAC Control System, OR

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) National Office is seeking market research responses for a comprehensive HVAC control system upgrade at the Northwest Oregon District Office in Salem, OR. The project involves replacing an existing Honeywell DDC HVAC control system with a new Johnson Controls Metasys DDC system, which includes replacing reheat coil and heating coil control valves, control valve actuators, damper actuators, and associated sensors. Interested contractors must respond via Microsoft Form by February 14, 2025, at 2:00 PM Mountain Time, with the BLM planning to use the responses to determine potential small business or socio-economic set-aside strategies for the upcoming competitive solicitation. The evaluation will focus on contractors' capabilities within the Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (NAICS 238220) category, with a small business size standard of $19 million. Bid, performance, and payment bonds will be required for the eventual contract.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside has been designated at this stage, with the agency seeking input from both large and small businesses. The anticipated construction magnitude is between $1-5 million, with a projected 90-day period of performance after the notice to proceed. The project scope extends beyond mechanical systems, including architectural components such as replacing decorative wood ceiling lattice panels and suspended ceiling tiles. Contractors should be prepared for a formal Request for Proposals to be issued in Spring 2025, with the primary NAICS code 238220 governing the procurement. The project represents a significant upgrade to the BLM's facility infrastructure, targeting modern HVAC control technologies and improved building systems performance.
