HVAC System Supply – Procurement of New AC Units

The contract seeks the supply of two commercial-grade split air conditioning units, each rated at 30,000 Btu/h, specifically designed to operate reliably in tropical climate conditions and meet the stringent environmental and operational standards of NOAA facilities. These units must be suited for sustained high-humidity and high-temperature environments, ensuring consistent performance, energy efficiency, and durability under demanding conditions typical of coastal or island NOAA operations. The procurement is structured as a subcontract under a Small Business Set Aside designation, limiting eligibility to certified small businesses and promoting workforce development within this sector. The North American Industry Classification System code 423730 indicates the focus on wholesale trade of HVAC equipment, aligning with the need for specialized commercial-grade hardware. The solicitation was posted on August 6, 2026, with responses required by August 17, 2026, at 11:00 PM, leaving vendors a limited window to submit proposals that fully address technical specifications, compliance with NOAA requirements, and delivery timelines. The contracting authority is the Department of Commerce, NOAA, though the specific place of performance and point of contact are not listed. Interested parties must ensure their submissions reflect deep familiarity with federal procurement protocols and the unique environmental demands of NOAA installations, as failure to meet these criteria will result in disqualification despite competitive pricing. The opportunity is accessible through the SAM.gov platform, and all bids must demonstrate readiness for rapid deployment and long-term maintenance support.
