AI Summary
The Department of the Air Force's 81st Contracting Squadron at Keesler AFB, Biloxi, MS, is seeking a contractor for Project MAHG231024 to repair Foster Manor HVAC B6965. This acquisition, valued at less than $10 million, requires the contractor to provide all equipment, labor, supervision, and materials to replace Air Handling Units (AHUs) and Variable Air Volume (VAV) units. A key requirement is the installation of a brand-name control and monitoring system (Metasys or Desigo) that can integrate with the existing Enterprise Measurement and Control System (EMCS) at Keesler AFB. The justification for not using full and open competition is based on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), citing only one responsible source due to the need for compatibility with existing Metasys or Desigo systems. These systems already have an Authority To Operate (ATO) at Keesler, and introducing a new system would incur significant delays for ATO approval. Market research identified five qualified firms, and a synopsis will be posted to the GPE and SAM.gov to solicit offers. The contracting officer will ensure a fair and reasonable cost, and the 81 CONS will continue to monitor the market for alternative solutions to promote future competition.
