Open/Inspect and Possible Repair of R-114 Air Conditioning Plant Compressor/Motor

The Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility awarded a fixed-price contract to Johnson Controls Building Automation Systems, LLC for the open inspection and evaluation of one R-114 Air Conditioning Compressor/Motor under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3406(C)(2). This is a sole-source procurement justified by Johnson Controls’ exclusive ownership of proprietary technical data, specialized test equipment, and repair methodologies required to service the R-114 system, making it the only responsible source capable of performing the work. The contract, identified by solicitation number N32253-26-F-0057, was posted on June 24, 2026, with a performance period from June 29, 2026, to September 30, 2026, and is being executed at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. No competitive evaluation factors, pricing details, or line-item breakdowns are provided, as the acquisition falls under simplified acquisition procedures and does not require full and open competition. The work involves inspecting and assessing the condition of the compressor to determine repair feasibility, with no guaranteed repair outcome—only a technical evaluation report is expected. The justification for non-competitive award is supported by the contractor’s restrictive rights and exclusive licensing agreements, with no external standards or MIL-SPECs referenced; all work must follow Johnson Controls’ proprietary processes. The contract acknowledges no set-aside, no socioeconomic certifications, and no formal FAR clauses or packaging requirements are explicitly detailed, relying instead on the contractor’s OEM-specific expertise and mission-critical timing constraints within the restricted timeframe.
