- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) intends to contract with AAF-McQuay, Inc. for continuation of services to provide comprehensive maintenance program on the McQuay WMC250D 250 ton Central Plant Centrifugal Chiller at the Mississippi Laboratories (MS Lab) located in Pascagoula, MS. The liquid HVAC comprehensive chiller maintenance program provides ongoing routine inspections, preventative maintenance and repair of the covered equipment. The magnetic frictionless compressors are state of the art and uses advanced technology with multiple on-board computers to operate and control the two levitated-rotor compressors. This compressor technology is proprietary and exclusive to the manufacturer, McQuay. The MS Lab is a 55,000 square footage research laboratory that relies exclusively on the McQuay chiller to provide chilled water for air conditioning the entire lab. The singular chiller is mission-critical; there is no back-up machine or alternate method of cooling the building; if the machine goes down, the entire building shuts down. The work taking place at the Lab is high profile fisheries research and analysis, with DeepWater Horizon related analysis work taking place daily. The mission of the Southeast Fisheries Science Center and the National Seafood Inspection Laboratory (tenants) at the Main Lab building must not be interrupted at this critical time. McQuay Factory Service technicians have all available OEM factory technical support and services (including OEM proprietary diagnostics software) at their disposal in keeping the chiller performing correctly, and should a malfunction occur, be able to accurately diagnose and troubleshoot the machine and return it to service in minimal time. There will be a base period with two option periods. The work will be performed at the MS Lab located in Pascagoula, MS. However, for the MS Labs to switch to another provider would not be cost effective to the Government. The proposed contract action for the HVAC chiller maintenance program at the NMFS shall be a base period beginning September 1, 2012 through August 31, 2013. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive responses. However, all responses received within 10 calendar days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. Responses can be faxed to Karen Christian at (757) 664-3622 or sent via email to karen.l.christian@noaa.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete 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. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. The NAICS code for this action is 238220. All contractors doing business with the Eastern Region Acquisition Division-Kansas City (ERAD-KC) must be registered with the Central Contractor Registry (CCR) or certification with the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA). For more information and to register, please access the following websites: http://www.sam.gov/. In order to register with the CCR and ORCA offerors must have a Dun & Bradstreet number. A Dun & Bradstreet number may be acquired free of charge by contacting Dun & Bradstreet on-line at http://www.dnb.com/product/eupdate/requestOptions.html or by phone at (800) 333-0505.
