J041--EMERGENCY OEM HVAC Relocation Service & Maintenance

The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 23 awarded a sole-source contract to Trane U.S. Inc. on February 16, 2026, for emergency OEM HVAC relocation service and maintenance. The contract, issued under GSA Schedule 47QSWA20D002A with solicitation number 36C26326Q0342, has a base award amount of $559,549.64 and a total estimated value of $591,200.00. This procurement was conducted as a non-competitive action under FAR 13.106-1(b) because Trane, as the original equipment manufacturer, is the only provider capable of transporting, storing, and maintaining the equipment while preserving critical manufacturer warranties and preventing environmental degradation. The scope of work involves the emergency transport of HVAC equipment valued at over $3,000,000 from two unprotected locations to a temperature-controlled warehouse in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. Key deliverables include safe relocation, climate-controlled storage, and a schedule of monthly, biannual, and annual preventive maintenance to ensure equipment readiness. The government's acceptance of services is managed by Contracting Officer John Milroy, with performance adhering to OEM-specific technical protocols and GSA schedule requirements.
