About this opportunity
The Federal Bureau of Prisons at Federal Correctional Institution McDowell in Welch, West Virginia is seeking to procure six potable water heaters to replace failing units at the medium-security facility. The solicitation requires four high-capacity water heaters capable of producing 750-800 KBTU input Btu/HR for housing units A and B, and two smaller units capable of producing 285 KBTU input Btu/HR for the camp housing unit. All units must meet stringent specifications including 95% or greater efficiency rating, natural gas operation, specific connection requirements (1" gas and 2" water connections), cascade capability, and physical constraints with footprint dimensions not exceeding 48" width and depth and weight limits of 550 pounds due to freight elevator restrictions. The procurement will be evaluated on a "Best Value" basis considering past performance, technical specifications, price, and business socio-economic status. Quotes must be submitted electronically by July 16, 2025 at 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, with technical questions directed to Eric Ratcliff at the facility.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under solicitation number 15B12225Q00000021. The existing water heaters being replaced include four PVI 75L 125A MXIF units and two 40L 125 AMXS units that currently service the facility housing approximately 1,461 inmates in the medium-security facility and 40 inmates in the minimum-security satellite camp. The water heaters must include a minimum 5-year heat exchanger warranty and 1-year parts warranty as part of the technical requirements. The work will be performed at the Federal Correctional Institution McDowell located at 101 Federal Drive in Welch, West Virginia, at a facility that was constructed in 2010 and began operations in November 2010. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the solicitation, the procurement involves the purchase and installation of six commercial-grade water heaters designed for institutional use in a correctional facility setting.
