    The NASA Global Hawk Mobile Ground Control Facility (GHMOF) outlines specifications for the installation of Bard air conditioning units in its trailer. The project requires two 6-ton Bard air conditioning units, each featuring a heating capacity of 10 kW and capable of delivering 51,500 BTUH cooling at an ambient temperature of 130°F. Each unit utilizes R-410A refrigerant, has a maximum power draw of 12.2 kW, and operates on a 120/208 VAC, 3-phase, 60 Hz electrical system. The air conditioners are designed for high air circulation with a capacity of 1600 CFM at a static pressure of 0.25 inches. Each unit weighs approximately 575 pounds. The document serves as a technical specification for prospective contractors responding to a government RFP for this installation, outlining essential requirements for compliance and performance standards in line with NASA's operational needs.
    This document outlines requirements for replacing a failed HVAC unit, specifically a Bard model. It confirms the necessity of a lift gate for delivery and details the modifications in size of the new unit, which will feature a larger condenser coil and increased depth, while maintaining compatibility with existing framing and duct openings. To ensure an accurate replacement, the contractor requires the model number and serial number of the existing unit. Additional specifications regarding the controls of the current system can be found in the attached HVAC slide. The focus of this document is to facilitate the procurement process for completing the HVAC replacement in line with government standards, ensuring functionality and consistency with existing infrastructure.
    The document is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by NASA for the replacement of a failed air conditioning unit in the Global Hawk Mobile Operation Facility (GHMOF).
