St. Ignace Office Air Handler Replacement

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service has published a Special Notice regarding the replacement of an air handler system at their St. Ignace office location. This notice serves as an informational announcement for a competitive Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Call Order under the Forest Service Region 9 Facilities program. The work involves replacing a non-functional air handler unit, including associated coil and outdoor condenser components, at the Saint Ignace Ranger District office within the Hiawatha National Forest in Saint Ignace, Michigan. The Special Notice was posted on August 20, 2025, and provides advance notification of the agency's intent to proceed with this facility maintenance project.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of the Forest Service's intent to award a competitive call order for HVAC system replacement services. Contractors interested in this opportunity must have an active BPA specifically for the respective zone under the Forest Service Region 9 Facilities program, as only pre-qualified contractors with existing blanket purchase agreements will be eligible to participate in the competitive call order process. The deadline for this opportunity is September 3, 2025, providing contractors with approximately two weeks to prepare their responses. This procurement approach leverages the existing BPA framework to streamline the contracting process while ensuring that only pre-vetted, qualified contractors can compete for the air handler replacement work at this critical Forest Service facility.
