JBSA FSH - HVAC Replacement OEM Parts Only – BAC Cooling Tower and Temtrol AHU

502d Contracting Squadron (502 CONS), JBSA Lackland hereby gives notice of its intent to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to acquire Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts/components for the replacement and restoration of existing HVAC infrastructure at JBSA FSH. No installation, assembly, or on-site labor services are required.

Specifically, this requirement entails the procurement of proprietary OEM components for:

• Baltimore Aircoil Company (BAC) Cooling Towers
• Temtrol Air Handling Units (AHUs)

This acquisition is being conducted in accordance with (IAW) the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) streamlined procurement guidelines and existing base facility engineering standards.

STATUTORY AUTHORITY - The Government intends to solicit and negotiate this requirement under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) or 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) RFO 6.103-1 “Other than Full and Open Competition, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements.”

The Contracting Officer has determined that only one (1) source is reasonably available to satisfy the technical and operational constraints of this installation, specifically requiring brand name OEM components. This streamlined notice is issued under the regulatory simplification policies established by the RFO initiative to minimize administrative burden while securing critical mission support.

JUSTIFICATION FOR SINGLE SOURCE (OEM PARTS ONLY) - The facility infrastructure at JBSA FSH relies heavily on integrated mechanical HVAC systems engineered to exact manufacturer tolerances. To maintain system reliability, security, and operational capability, only authentic BAC and Temtrol components are acceptable for the following reasons:

• System Compatibility & Integration - The current cooling tower and air handling systems are proprietary units designed by Baltimore Aircoil Company and Temtrol. These systems interface directly with the base’s unified Building Automation Systems (BAS) and environmental control loops. The installation of non-OEM or third-party aftermarket components will disrupt system calibration, communication protocols, and overall mechanical performance.
• Warranty Preservation - The existing BAC Cooling Towers and Temtrol Air Handling Units are covered under existing manufacturer performance warranties. The introduction of non-OEM replacement parts voids these manufacturer warranties, exposing the Government to substantial financial risk in the event of major mechanical failures.
• Maintenance & Engineering Standards - To comply with DAF Civil Engineering standards and streamlined acquisition guidelines under the RFO initiative, all repairs and replacements must meet the original manufacturer's specifications. OEM components ensure identical materials, performance metrics, thermos-dynamic efficiency, and safety profiles, preventing premature wear on surrounding system components.

DESCRIPTION OF REQUIRED SUPPLIES - This procurement requires a standard package of critical HVAC components, including but not limited to:

• BAC Cooling Tower OEM Components: Replacement fill media, spray nozzles, drive shafts, fan assemblies, and structural casing components engineered strictly for BAC models.
• Temtrol Air Handling Unit OEM Components: Direct-drive fan arrays, proprietary heating and cooling coils, custom damper assemblies, and control actuators matching Temtrol specifications.

All items must be delivered in brand new original packaging from the manufacturer and must bear the standard OEM product warranty. See Attch 1. HVAC REPLACEMENT OEM PARTS ONLY LISTING (B3820 & B1029).

However, interested parties may identify their interest and capability in fulfilling this requirement by responding within five (5) days after publication of this notice.
