Emergency 50-Ton AC Smart Rental_Bldg. 1060

The Department of the Air Force, through the 502d Contracting Squadron, awarded a firm-fixed-price contract under solicitation FA3016_EmergHVAC for the emergency rental and installation of one 50-ton smart HVAC unit. This action was executed non-competitively under the authority of FAR 6.103-2 and 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) due to unusual and compelling urgency. The procurement was triggered by a catastrophic failure of the primary air conditioning system in Building 1062 at JBSA Fort Sam Houston, which houses a mission-critical DISA data center. The failure created an immediate risk of thermal damage to high-value government assets and the potential halt of essential network operations. The scope of work is a turnkey solution encompassing the delivery, installation, operational verification, and eventual removal of the HVAC unit to restore environmental controls. Performance and acceptance are based on the unit's ability to maintain required cooling levels at the destination. While market research was conducted, the award was made on a sole-source basis as the selected vendor was determined to be the only viable option capable of providing the immediate support necessary to sustain mission-critical functions. The contract is managed by Contracting Officer Emily Rodriguez and Technical Personnel Leonardo Garcia.
