Replace heating, ventilation, and air conditioning

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Southeast Region is procuring the replacement of a 15-ton split system HVAC unit at Biscayne National Park Headquarters in Homestead, Florida. The project requires installation of a new 22 SEER-rated system with programmable WiFi thermostats, remote sensors, coastal protective coating, and compliance with Florida Building Code and Miami-Dade County High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standards. Contractors must demonstrate technical capability, have available resources for the 180-day project timeline, and employ certified HVAC technicians for commissioning work. The government will award a firm-fixed-price contract based on best value evaluation considering past performance, technical capability, availability of resources, and price. Following an amendment that extended the deadline, quotes are now due August 19, 2025, with questions having been addressed in a published Q&A document.

This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) with a size standard of $19.0 million. No incumbent contractor or specific budget range is mentioned in the solicitation documents. The contractor must provide a comprehensive warranty covering compressor, parts, and labor for one year, with immediate response requirements for any system deficiencies given the critical nature of HVAC systems in south Florida's climate. The period of performance extends from August 31, 2025, to December 31, 2025, with work to be performed at the Biscayne National Park Headquarters Building at Convoy Point. Contractors must maintain active SAM.gov registration and possess valid Unique Entity ID numbers, while also developing contract-specific quality assurance/quality control and safety plans for the project.
