Repair VAVs in Building 1122

The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command, through Shaw Air Force Base, is seeking contractors to repair Variable Air Volume (VAV) units in Building 1122 by cleaning clogged coils and airway passages to restore original design airflow specifications. This firm fixed price construction project is being offered under NAICS Code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and represents a new market research initiative to identify qualified sources before formal solicitation. Key contract requirements include performing pre-construction and post-construction test and balance on air handling units and VAV boxes, disconnecting and cleaning all VAVs, installing access panels for future maintenance, flushing chilled and hot water lines, installing side stream filters on pump systems, and maintaining one-year warranty coverage against defects. All work must comply with UFC, UFGS, International Building Code, National Electrical Code, and Shaw Air Force Base Design and Construction Standards. The current pre-solicitation phase deadline for submitting capabilities packages is March 13, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern, with responses directed to Contracting Officer Mallory Cary and Contracting Specialist Kishauna Goodman.

No set-aside designation has been applied to this opportunity, though the government initially considered a small business set-aside with a $19 million size standard; 20 CONS indicates interest in any size business capable of meeting requirements. No incumbent contractor or current contract values are identified in the pre-solicitation materials. The project encompasses a 60 calendar-day contract duration consisting of 30 days for construction activities and 30 days for closeout, with the building remaining occupied during work and only one to two VAVs offline at any time. Interested firms must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for contract award and should submit capabilities packages including company business size, business status designations (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, EDWOSB), teaming arrangements, examples of similar services, UEI, CAGE Code, and SAM expiration date in PDF format to the identified contracting personnel.
