About this opportunity
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is soliciting sealed offers for the installation of a ductless mini-split heating and cooling system at Newark Liberty International Airport's Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) facility in Newark, New Jersey. The scope of work encompasses mechanical installation of one 6-ton exterior heat pump unit and three interior wall-mounted units with all associated refrigerant and drain piping, electrical work including a dedicated 208V 3-phase power circuit with NEMA 4X disconnect, integration of the system into the existing FAA Schneider Electric EcoStruxure DDC building management system via BACnet protocol, and structural work including concrete core penetrations with wall restoration and painting. The contractor must begin performance within 5 calendar days of award and complete all work within 90 calendar days. Evaluation will be conducted on a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) basis, considering business proposal completeness, past performance on three similar projects valued between $50,000 and $100,000 each, qualified key personnel including a project manager with minimum 10 years of experience and a project superintendent with minimum 5 years of experience, and a realistic construction schedule. The deadline for sealed offers is April 30, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST, with the questions and answers deadline extended to April 14, 2026 at 6:00 PM CST. A mandatory site visit was held on March 17, 2026, with an optional secondary visit available at 5:00 PM EST.
This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), with a $19.0 million size standard. No incumbent contractor is identified in the documentation. The contract is a firm fixed-price, one-job lump sum award with performance and payment bonds required at 100 percent of the contract price. The specific work location is Room 141A of the FAA ATCT base building at 118 Flagpole Road, Newark, New Jersey 07114. Key numerical specifications include installation of three indoor wall-mounted units, one 6-ton exterior heat pump unit, a dedicated 208V, 3-phase, 60-ampere electrical circuit, integration of one IP-IO module for backup cooling control, and coordination with a Carlisle-authorized roofing applicator to maintain the existing 25-year roof warranty. Work is restricted to 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday for normal operations, with noisier construction activities conducted between 4:00 PM and 5:30 AM to minimize disruption to 24/7 air traffic control operations.
