FA445226R0016_Installation of Mini-Split Units in Building 730 ATC Simulator Rooms

The 763d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron has issued a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) for commercial construction services to install two 3-ton ductless mini-split air conditioning systems in the Air Traffic Control Simulator Rooms of Building 730 at Pope Army Airfield, North Carolina. This requirement is a 100% small business set-aside, competitively solicited among all small businesses on SAM.gov. The government intends to award a single firm-fixed-price purchase order. The scope of work includes providing all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and supervision to install indoor units, outdoor condensers, electrical wiring, and conduit, ensuring all work complies with local building codes, electrical standards, and manufacturer specifications. A minimum one-year warranty on materials and workmanship is required upon project acceptance. Proposals must be submitted via email by 2:00 PM Central Time on 24 August 2026, and must be organized into three distinct volumes: Administrative Requirements, Technical Proposal, and Price Proposal. The technical evaluation will focus on the contractor's methodology, schedule, and any proposed alternatives, while the price proposal will be evaluated for completeness and fairness. Award will be made on a best-value basis, meaning the government may select an offeror other than the lowest-priced one if their technical proposal offers superior schedule efficiencies or processes. Depending on the final contract value, contractors may be required to provide performance and payment bonds or alternative payment protections such as an irrevocable letter of credit. All work must adhere to the Davis-Bacon Act wage determinations for Cumberland and Hoke counties, North Carolina, and comply with relevant cybersecurity and defense telecommunications regulations.
