About this opportunity
The Air Education and Training Command is issuing a notice of intent to sole-source a temporary chiller rental to Herc Rentals, Inc., with quotes and capability statements due by 4:30 PM CST on July 23, 2026. This is not a competitive solicitation; the Government has determined under FAR 12.102(a) that only one source can meet the requirement. The chiller will serve the Dolan Chiller Plant at Keesler Air Force Base, providing cooling for critical Command and Control and communication nodes supporting 2nd Air Force Headquarters, 81st Training Wing Headquarters, and the installation communications hub. Continuous climate control is operationally mandatory to maintain readiness and protect sensitive IT and network infrastructure from thermal damage. The justification rests on the fact that the current temporary chiller systems are already onsite and maintained by the Base Operations Support contractor, who owns the equipment; no other contractor can utilize the existing on-site equipment. Interested parties may submit quotes and capability statements to michael.green.121@us.af.mil and macey.behee@us.af.mil. The Government reserves the discretion to compete the contract based on responses received.
