About this opportunity
The Federal Bureau of Prisons is issuing a Sources Sought notice to identify contractors capable of furnishing and delivering air-cooled chillers and centrifugal pumps for Federal Correctional Complex Oakdale, Louisiana, with responses due by July 6, 2026. This is market research only; responses do not constitute offers and participation does not guarantee consideration in any future solicitation.
FCC Oakdale requires nine Trane Sintesis air-cooled chillers (Model RTAF115E, brand name or equal) rated at 115 nominal tons and two Trane CGAM air-cooled scroll chillers (brand name or equal) rated at 80 nominal tons. All equipment must be new, UL listed, ASME pressure vessel code compliant, and meet ASHRAE 90.1 standards through 2016. Both chiller types operate at 460V/60Hz/3-phase. The Sintesis units use R513A refrigerant; the CGAM units use R454B. Contractors must supply equipment and provide manufacturer-certified startup services. Installation will be performed by FCC Oakdale's in-house HVAC staff. All equipment must meet Federal, State, and local codes.
Place of performance is 1507 East Whatley Road, Oakdale, Louisiana 71463. The procurement carries no set-aside. Responses to this notice may inform the Government's future acquisition strategy, including decisions on set-aside eligibility and competitive approach, though respondents will not be notified of market research results and no reimbursement will be provided for response costs.
