Intent to Sole Source Chiller Freezer Maintenance Service

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility
(PSNS/IMF) requires a service contract to provide preventive and corrective
maintenance and repair to Government owned water chillers.

PSNS & IMF Shop 99 owns multiple portable air cooled water chillers that require periodic maintenance. This maintenance was performed in the past by a dedicated EPA certified refrigeration technician from Shop 99. As the number of chillers increased due to acquisition, the maintenance was turned over to Shop 31M. The one refrigeration technician employed by Shop 31M maintains over 300 refrigeration units and the workload does not support the proper care of the Shop 99 owned equipment. Contracting out this maintenance to the open market will ensure all units are ready to support projects on the waterfront.

Trane is the only firm capable of meeting this technical requirement due to the warranty under Trane that requires that modifications, repairs, or alterations to the equipment shall be done by Trane, refrigerant shall be supplied by Trane, and maintenance shall be performed as recommended by Trane. Please see the attached related Justification and Approval documentation for additional information regarding the procurement.
