About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) is seeking emergency procurement of two Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) to replace failed units for two 380-ton York YMC2 Centrifugal Chillers at the Hollings Marine Laboratory in Charleston, SC. The emergency stems from the failure of both drives on May 13, 2025, which are critical to maintaining climate control and supporting research infrastructure at the facility. Contractors must demonstrate expertise with York chiller systems, remove existing failed drives, procure and install manufacturer-recommended updated VSDs compatible with the building automation system, perform startup and commissioning, and provide documentation and training. The government will evaluate submitted prices to determine fairness and reasonableness, with the contract award anticipated without discussions though the agency reserves the right to conduct them if necessary. Written quotes must be submitted via email by 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on July 1, 2025, with no further questions being accepted after Amendment 0002.
This solicitation is issued as an unrestricted procurement under NAICS code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) with a size standard of $19 million, though documentation indicates conflicting set-aside designations with one reference to Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB). Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI) has been identified in the sole source justification as the original equipment manufacturer with proprietary hardware and the only entity capable of providing OEM-certified replacement parts, though the solicitation appears to be open for competition. The contractor must complete the entire project within 90 days of contract award, with delivery and installation required FOB destination at the NCCOS Hollings Marine Laboratory. Work must be performed between 0600-1800 hours Monday through Friday, and the contractor must provide new equipment with a minimum one-year warranty while coordinating safety procedures with the government technical point of contact.
