- Description
- The National Institute of Standards (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.501(a) with Johnsons Controls, Inc. (JCI) of Milwaukee, Wisconsin to repair/overhaul four (4) 3,500 ton York refrigeration units (RU) at NIST’s Gaithersburg, Maryland campus. The RUs are highly specialized chiller equipment with refrigerant fluid under high pressure and complex, source-specific electronic controls and sensors. This repair/overhaul involves internal work of the RUs and includes the disassembly, diagnostic assessment, repair, and refurbishment of components beyond routine maintenance. As such, the work is required to be performed by a certified JCI technical trained by the manufacturer, and any parts necessary for these service repair/overhauls are required to be provided by the equipment manufacturer. Failure to adhere to the manufacturer’s requirements will void all future warranty provisions, incur significant financial liability (and safety risk) for the Government and potentially impact the mission of the agency as a result of using unauthorized repairs. As a result the only source to perform the required repairs/overhaul is JCI certified technicians and those technicians are employed by JCI. This work falls under the SBA NAICS of Subsector 238 – Specialty Trade Contractors, specifically 238220, Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within seven (7) days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
