The Bureau of Land Management’s National Operations Center is soliciting design-build services for a comprehensive HVAC system upgrade at the Rawlins Field Office in Rawlins, Wyoming, under solicitation number 140L0626R0001. The project targets a 32,000-square-foot facility and includes demolition of existing HVAC components, installation of new packaged rooftop units, boilers, VAV boxes, advanced control systems, and full commissioning to ensure optimal performance in compliance with ASHRAE guidelines and applicable building codes. Work must be performed on-site with minimal disruption to ongoing operations, and contractors are required to provide temporary HVAC solutions when necessary. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238220, with eligibility restricted to small businesses meeting the $19 million size standard. Proposal submission follows a two-phase process: Phase One evaluates the design-build team, key personnel, and past performance for acceptability, while invited offerors proceed to Phase Two, where technical approach, schedule realism, licensure, and pricing are assessed for overall value. The evaluation is based on a best-value trade-off methodology, where technical superiority may outweigh lower pricing. Performance must be completed within 365 calendar days following notice to proceed, with work commencing no later than 10 days after that notice. All submissions must be electronic, formatted in PDF or Word as specified, and sent exclusively via email to designated contracting officials. Contracting officers require strict adherence to documentation standards, including detailed submittals such as schematic drawings, control sequences, existing conditions reports, QA/QC plans, TAB and commissioning reports, and as-built documentation.

Payment will be processed through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), not WAWF, and directed to the Denver Federal Center.
