The requirement falls under NAICS Code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) with a $19 million ceiling, though the actual contract value for this specific project is not specified in the notice. The project scope includes decommissioning the existing fuel oil system, installing a new 90,000–125,000 BTU propane furnace in the basement, and placing a 300–400 gallon propane tank at least 10 feet from the building's exterior walls, along with all necessary permitting, coordination, piping installation, and system commissioning. The performance period is scheduled from February 1, 2026 through April 1, 2026, providing a two-month window for completion of all work.
