Air Conditioner Repair

Solicitation M-26-D77-R-000047 is a sole-source commercial acquisition issued by the Department of Justice, Office of the United States Marshals Service, for urgent air conditioning repairs at the Northern District of Texas facility in Fort Worth, Texas. The contract, valued at $9,160.96, is awarded to Texas Total Comfort Systems, LLC. The scope of work includes replacing leaking air conditioning cassettes on the second and fifth floors and replacing the evaporator coil to restore full HVAC functionality. This action is justified under FAR Overhaul Part 6.103-2 due to unusual and compelling urgency, as elevated indoor temperatures posed significant risks to the safety and well-being of detainees, staff, and the continuity of court operations. The procurement was conducted under FAR Overhaul Part 12 for commercial items and remained below the simplified acquisition threshold. Because it was a non-competitive award based on urgency and the vendor's status as an approved GSA contractor with facility access, no formal competitive evaluation factors or trade-offs were utilized. Pricing was determined to be fair and reasonable per FAR 15.404-1(b)(4). Government inspection and acceptance are conducted at the place of performance in Fort Worth, managed by Contracting Officer Julie M. Simpson and Technical Point of Contact Annette Dominguez.
