Replacement Of Gas Boilers

The U.S. Embassy London is soliciting bids to replace two gas boilers at the U.S. Consulate General in Edinburgh, requiring a qualified commercial heating contractor to install new boilers with matching capacity from a UK-recognized manufacturer that maintains a local representative. The contractor must ensure the new flue systems comply with both UK and U.S. gas regulations, including minimum clearance distances from air handling unit intakes, and perform all associated work such as removal of existing equipment, installation of pumps, valves, pipes, sensors, and full system commissioning. Work must be completed within 28 calendar days, with no more than 14 days of on-site activity, and must adhere to BSRA BG29 2021 standards for system flushing and chemical cleaning, as well as UK HSE regulations, local building and fire codes, and U.S. Department of State security protocols. All components must bear machine-printed labels, and comprehensive documentation—including as-fitted drawings, commissioning checklists, manufacturer warranties, operation manuals, and disposal records—must be submitted before and after work completion. The contract is a firm fixed price agreement with payment made only after full completion of services via electronic funds transfer to the contractor’s bank account, with no interim billing permitted. Offers must be submitted by 5 p.m. BST on May 15, 2026, to procurement_box3@state.gov with the specified subject line, and a mandatory site visit is scheduled for April 29, 2026, requiring pre-registration by April 24. The solicitation emphasizes technical acceptability and lowest price as the sole award criteria, with no discussions anticipated. Contractors must comply with a wide range of Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses covering small business utilization, labor standards, equal opportunity, anti-trafficking, cybersecurity, and Buy American requirements. Personnel performing on-site work must undergo U.S. Department of State security vetting, including PIV identification, passport verification, and adherence to access restrictions, and must be supervised by a designated contractor representative. All work is subject to government inspection and acceptance at the consulate site, with final approval contingent upon full compliance with technical, regulatory, and documentation requirements.
