The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Rock Island Arsenal is seeking to procure replacement cooling systems equipment for the Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center (JMTC), including cooling towers, a chiller system, and exhaust fans across multiple buildings.

Contractors must demonstrate a minimum of three years of manufacturer experience supplying similar equipment with published data and two references, provide a detailed compliance statement addressing each specification paragraph of the Requirements and Performance Description (RIPD), and maintain a one-year parts and labor warranty beginning upon final acceptance. Evaluation will employ Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedures, with award made to the lowest evaluated price among technically acceptable quotes. Critical deadlines include a mandatory site visit on April 14, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central Time at Building 212 (with reservations required at least one business day in advance), and the revised proposal due date of May 1, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central Time.

This is an unrestricted procurement issued under FAR Part 12 for commercial products and services with no small business set-aside, though the solicitation was originally posted as a draft that may be converted to a small business set-aside at the government's discretion. No incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The contract is structured on a firm fixed price basis with the base requirement (CLIN 0001) requiring delivery by May 29, 2026, and option CLINs (0002-0004) allowing 30 calendar days from the date of option exercise, with the government retaining 365 days from award to exercise options.

Performance will take place at Rock Island Arsenal in Rock Island, Illinois, with contractor personnel required to obtain security clearances, Anti-Terrorism Level I training, and compliance with force protection measures; the contractor must also establish post-award service capability with 48-hour on-site response availability during government working hours (8:00 AM to 3:00 PM CST, Monday-Friday).
