3 Wall Units

The North Carolina National Guard is seeking to procure and have installed three 3-ton wall-mounted heat pumps to replace the failing units at a cadet facility in Sampson County. The procurement is being conducted through an Invitation for Bids (IFB) issued by the North Carolina Department of Public Safety (NCDPS) Purchasing and Logistics division. Bids are due by August 21, 2024, and a mandatory site visit is scheduled for August 14, 2024. The IFB specifies that Bard heat pumps or an equivalent are requested, and vendors must be authorized resellers and provide a manufacturer's warranty. Pricing is to be provided on an attached form, and the contract will be awarded to the responsive bidder offering the lowest price that meets the requirements.

The IFB encourages HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) participation, and vendors must provide financial and performance references. However, the documents do not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The IFB also does not provide any information on incumbent vendors or current contractors, existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration, or possible award values or budget ranges.
