24-0048 Repair Chiller 2

This contract is a Small Business Set-Aside for the complete replacement of Chiller 2 at Building B500 on Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, classified under NAICS code 811310 and designated as a construction effort rather than a service contract. The project involves removing the existing chiller unit from the basement and installing a new one with full integration of piping, controls, and associated systems, all while operating within an occupied facility, requiring meticulous coordination to minimize disruptions. The solicitation, numbered 24-0048, was posted on August 5, 2026, with responses due by August 7, 2026. There is no incumbent contractor for this work; it is a new opportunity. A site visit is planned and will be announced with the official solicitation. The contract is anticipated to be awarded under a firm-fixed-price structure, though this is not formally confirmed. The place of performance is fixed at Offutt AFB, and the government will conduct final inspection and acceptance on-site. The contracting office is the 55th Contracting Squadron under the Department of Defense, with Kent Pendleton as the primary point of contact and Matthias Wilson serving as the contracting officer. Payment and invoicing details are addressed administratively through the 55th Contracting Squadron’s location at 705 Nelson Drive, but specific accounting symbols, treasury account information, and electronic invoicing systems are not provided. The contractor is responsible for restoring any disturbed areas to an equivalent or improved condition, and all work must comply with design specifications and drawings. No formal evaluation factors, pricing estimates, or clause listings are included in the presolicitation, and Section M, Section J, Section D, and Section K details remain undetermined until the full solicitation is issued. Offerors must be certified small businesses, and while no security clearances or key personnel requirements are specified, compliance with federal regulations and operational constraints related to occupied building access and damage restoration are mandatory. Submission must be delivered to the specified federal office by the deadline, though the electronic submission platform is not explicitly named.
