Scope1.1. Objective: The Combat Capabilities Development Command - Armaments Center (DEVCOM-AC) at Picatinny Arsenal maintains numerous classrooms, conference areas, video teleconference (VTC) rooms, battery laboratories, chemistry laboratories, energetic workspaces and industrial facilities. These spaces and process equipment require repair, maintenance, modification, or modernization as the US Army continues to maintain and improve mission facilities. Examples of these systems include: process refrigeration, special laboratory environment control systems, compressed air and gas systems, laboratory plumbing systems, industrial dehumidifiers, 100% fresh air HVAC systems for energetic areas, mission specific heating/cooling systems for computer rooms, and other conditioning systems to support advanced technologies. This BPA will facilitate the timely and efficient execution of projects to ensure these systems remain effective and state-of-the-art. This BPA does not cover standard HVAC for heating/cooling of office spaces for comfort and life-safety, as that work falls under a separate, base-wide contract managed by the U.S. Army Garrison at Picatinny Arsenal.1.2.
