The Federal Bureau of Prisons Field Acquisition Office is conducting sources sought market research, due November 17, 2026 at 2:00 PM Central Time, for a firm-fixed-price design-build contract to replace and modernize HVAC systems at FCI El Reno, Oklahoma. The notice is not a solicitation, and the Government anticipates issuing one after market research concludes. The Set Aside line reads "No Set-Aside Used," and responses will inform a potential socioeconomic set-aside determination. The NAICS code is 238220 with a small business size standard of $19.0 million, and the PSC is Z2FF.

Scope includes removing and disposing of ten existing DX condensing units, installing ten air-cooled chillers and ten chilled-water cooling coils, chilled-water piping, electrical distribution modifications, BAS and DDC integration, temporary cooling during phased construction, testing, adjusting, and balancing, commissioning, startup, and training. The GovTribe file summary of the questionnaire cites an estimated 420 calendar-day performance period.
Interested firms must be registered in SAM.gov to access the Statement of Work and supplemental documents, and all future solicitation materials will be distributed only through SAM.gov.
