    JBMDL Vertical Skills JA HVAC Chillers -Redacted.pdf
    The U.S. Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) is requesting a Class Justification and Approval (J&A) to procure HVAC chillers exclusively from four selected manufacturers (Trane, Carrier, Daikin/McQuay, and York) for lifecycle replacements and new installations at Army garrisons in the continental U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. This decision, based on the HVAC Chiller Category Intelligence Report, aims to standardize equipment, reduce the total cost of ownership over their 15-year lifecycle, and create efficiencies in maintenance and operations. The J&A will enable military contracting activities to solicit contracts for approximately 621 chiller replacements over five years, utilizing both Operations and Maintenance and Military Construction funding. Limited competition will be expected among approved vendors, with an emphasis on supporting small businesses in accordance with government procurement policies. Implementing this chiller standardization is projected to yield significant cost savings by minimizing training and certification expenses for multiple brands. Failure to approve the J&A could result in continued inefficiencies and increased operational costs due to the existing diverse inventory of HVAC chiller brands. The market research indicates the strategy aligns with the Army's goal of improving operational effectiveness while ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations.
