About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI · Jul 17, 2025

The Department of the Air Force Reserve Command issued Solicitation FA6606-25-B-0001 for a design-build contract to replace an existing Carrier Model air-cooled chiller with two new equal capacity Carrier chillers at Building 1850 at Westover Air Reserve Base in Massachusetts. The project involves replacing a 50-ton cooling capacity chiller that is currently operating on only one circuit due to a condenser coil leak, with the contractor responsible for providing all design services, construction, labor, materials, and equipment necessary for the complete chiller replacement. The solicitation required specific Carrier chiller models (30RC_025 or 030) as part of the Air Force's department-wide HVAC chiller standardization strategy. The contract was structured as a firm-fixed-price arrangement with a 349-calendar day performance period, including 119 days for design and 230 days for construction, and required 20% bid guarantees along with performance and payment bonds. Questions were due by July 1, 2025, with bids originally due on July 15, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT, though the solicitation was ultimately cancelled on July 17, 2025.

This procurement was designated as a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 238220 for Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors. The estimated project magnitude fell between $100,000 and $250,000, with the Abstract of Offers showing that two bids were received - one from J.J. Murphy for $973,300 and another unidentified bidder for $657,768. The work was to be performed at Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee, Massachusetts, with the project requiring the installation of two new Carrier chillers to provide equivalent cooling capacity as the single existing unit. A site visit was conducted on June 17, 2025, with 13 potential bidders in attendance, and multiple Requests for Information were issued throughout the solicitation process to clarify technical specifications and requirements. The contracting officer Amy Dumais managed the procurement process, though the solicitation was cancelled via amendment on July 17, 2025, one day after the bid opening.
